    Looks like we will find out soon if the Dockers President in Alcock, no balls or not…

    Totally agree.

    And stop ALL taxpayer funding of so called sport.

    Corporate sponsorship of Australian ‘sporting’ organisations is theft from the companies owners.

    Correct. As a Woodside shareholder I’m good with them withdrawing all sponsorship of anything.

  5. C.L. says:

    That’s an interesting subject. I guess shareholders want their companies to be well known, sell more stuff and make bigger profits. But they’re also entitled to see a breakdown of the figures to be sure a sponsorship is not a net loser.

  6. jupes says:

    As a shareholder in various companies, I don’t mind them sponsoring sport because I like sport. However, if the athletes start spruiking against the company, then I expect them to pull that sponsorship immediately.

    Didn’t Carmen Lawrence play for the ‘other’ side?

    Did you get to vote on the ‘sport’ that some corporate type decided was best way to promote company?

    Not many people go home after watching a Dockers game and think, “I think I’ll buy a shipload of Woodside LNG.”

    Similarly after a Diamonds game, “Hey, I need a shipload of Hammersly iron ore.”

  10. Bruce of Newcastle says:

    Going to be fun when all these woke clubs start going bankrupt. Remember when Rusty saved the Rabbitohs? Sponsors with money don’t grow on trees, and slagging them off is a great way to turn away more than just one or five of them. Not worth the reputational risk.

    I doubt many people go home thinking they will join a union or use industry super funds after seeing them on the jerseys of sporting teams either.

    No, but like I said, I’m cool with it.

  13. NFA says:

    The only “sports” I like are horse racing and pigeons.

  14. Bruce of Newcastle says:

    I doubt many people go home thinking they will join a union or use industry super funds after seeing them on the jerseys of sporting teams either.

    I suspect though that the union officials and the industry superfund people rather like using the corporate boxes on the strength of their members’ money.

  15. Mantaray says:

    The thirty thousand Dockers fans who drive their petroleum-powered vehicles to the ground and then watch it under the ten-million-kilowatt lights, obviously have a “different set of values” to the ancient fossils (Dale Kickett excluded) in that offensive photo at the link.

    Those swampies can all sod off and glue themselves to a Van Gogh painting someplace if they are so offended, FFS! Why bring this riff-raff to our attention in the first place CL?

  16. Old Lefty says:

    A friend from WA told me that, in the aftermath of the Penny Easton affair, people were calling the virulently ex-Catholic Carmen Lawrence ‘our lady of the immaculate deception’.

  17. Rossini says:

    Stop the support for the ungrateful club (members…….).
    As a shareholder I want to know why the hell Woodside supports the team
    considering the “cashed up” supporters don’t appreciate the revenue the club shouldnow forgo!

  18. John Brumble says:

    Sounds like “derogatory treatment” to me. It’s high time these businesses started pulling out of sponsorship deals and making moral rights claims.

    This one’s a little harder of course – the members are not employees, but it should result in a tightening of agreements moving forward.

  19. Mars Marko says:

    Corporate sponsorship is just a tax deductible scam. The company executives get to take their mates to a private box for a free piss up. Shareholders pay for it.
