It happened with Cigarettes

Wed, 2022-10-19 18:17

It happened with Cigarettes and the world kept spinning, It's about progress.
 

i guess you could show the players how much they will earn without the sponsorship and then they can decide.

 

Just glad it's past Dockers players in the news and not eagles ones

 First step should be not to play any sport at night, save so much on fossil fuel not being burnt, dockers shouldn't fly either just stay home and play with themselves

We all get support from heavy industry and the big hitters in one way or another so why not take what they prepare to give,it doesn't change anything they are still going to carry on mining and drilling ect.When I see a Woodside logo on a sports jumper it doesn't make me turn every light on I can find just to use more power.Are we going to give up eating meat because the bloody cow farted in the paddock?

 What stagggers me the most

Sun, 2022-10-23 18:55

 What stagggers me the most most about this all is the lack of communication between the executive , players and their management.

How the actual fuck can one person's insecurities dominate the financial wellbeing of a major female sport.

I can  understand her viewpoinrt and the players solidarity but not to the detriment of Netball Australia which is in deep financial shite.

As we know with our impending fishing bands there can always be a compromise to keep all parties happy somehwere in the middle. 

All I can see is this has pushed the reconcilliation agenda back 20 years and the player in question has on the main villified herself before even taking to the court. This is where player mannagement and executive communication has seriously failed and all we have out of this is a major cluster fuck. 

I don't blame Gina one % , she can't be blamed for what her old man said 40 years ago but she's tried to make amends in the ensuing years, this article says it more eloquently than I can.

Mon, 2022-10-24 10:44

 True she can't be blamed, BUT it also is directly his money inherited by Gina.

No strong view either way really other than its dominating everything.

The real issue here, and Cummins/Alinta and Dockers/Woodside is that this conversation should have been in the background to save reputational damage to (especially) long standing sponsors like Woodside.

I wonder if this is something to do with Agenda 2030?

yeah, not generally a huge fan of gina, but i cant blae her either.

i dont knwo too much about her personal viewpoints etc, but i agree, its a bit much for her to take the blame for something her old man said. even if the money came form him. its her whos allocating it, and she is not her father. dont follow netball at all, but i do personally feel that this whole notion of blaming people or holding them responsible for what their relations, ancestors etc did is a bit out of hand. i dont mean to offend anyone, just my view.

Considering the old bloke

Wed, 2022-10-26 18:20

Considering the old bloke said what he said 38 years ago, it was said directly referring to the girls parents who were likely teenagers or young adults at the time.

The parents would have then, rightfully so , hated Lang and anything associated with him.

Sure, some people made money off him to buy their silence while he and his company rapes the land, though, those who didn't make a buck from it are still entitled to hate him and anything his company stands for.

Good on her for standing up

Easy to cash in when you’re using taxpayers money...

agree with your sentiments about Lang’s statements...but there is probably room for a two way apology given the behavioural and societal issues going on at present. In a perfect world the last 38 years could have shown us how horribly and completely wrong Lang’s statements were. I’m not sure that’s what’s happened however. Anyway not going to wade in any more than that.

Certainly a double edged sword, but as my missus said Gina doesn't have once ounce of contrition and has never publicly acknowledged her old man's comments.
