Did Someone Say KFC?

[Doc1763]

Why not - a lot of people like it

I just don't think a professional sporting club should have a fast food chain as a major sponsor.

Why on earth not?

We shouldn't be aligning ourselves with a fast food chain.

IMO some are better or worse than others. I wouldn’t have a problem with Guzman y Gomez for example.

I guess we all have our own preferences and opinions and experiences to draw upon. For me, KFC is hands down the worst. But then, my few KFC experiences have been comically terrible, and no way would they be in business if everybody was getting that standard of food and service out of them.

I wouldn't eat KFC at gunpoint. We shouldn't be aligning ourselves with a fast food chain.

Very limited list if we are going down this path:

1. No gambling
2. No smoking
3. No alcohol
4. No fast food
5. No mining companies (climate change)
6. No Facebook etc. (Mental health)
7. No airlines (climate change)
8. No sporting goods companies that don't sign up to the anti slave labour policies
9. No soft drinks (health)
10. No energy drinks (health)
11. No meat products (Four'N Twenty, leather footballs, etc.)
12. Etc.

By the way you are aware that the AFL is sponsored by Carlton Draft, Coca Cola, McDonalds, Sportsbet, Jim Beam, Monster Energy, Wolf Blass, Wonder White (Racist name), etc.

I believe it is called virtue-signalling. Not even ESG investing would exclude fast-food, so not sure why a sporting club should be expected to be more limited in sponsor choice.

I've still got my voucher for winning a round of SUPERCOACH this year.

A little less guilt for eating their crap.

I guess for folks who love KFC they don’t see a problem.

I gotta admit, if In-n-Out burger was coming to Australia, and had sponsored Collingwood, then I’d be as thrilled as a pig in poo. But no way would I expect to see our players eating that stuff.

I eat KFC 4 times a year at most, just interested as to why we can’t be sponsored by a fast food chain?

More than happy to take KFC's cash

I love it.... dirty pies, dirty bird... bird is the word

I didn’t say that we can’t be sponsored by a fast food chain?

 

[bunter]

Insurance companies rip you off no end and then try and weasel out of paying you out they are the lowest of the low

were pretty good to us when our house got smashed in a bushfire

Will the Holden Centre become the Zinger Centre?

 

[VinnieB]

Welcome aboard Colonel

Didn’t the Colonel have some sort of association with KKK?

KFC's branding and advertising is tacky as hell. That's what I associate it with when I see the logos on our jumper. Not the best.

Also I've already seen the association between the Colonel, and the stereotypes with fried chicken and our do better report being brought up on social media. Again, not the best.

Luckily we aren't an American club.

Sponsorship is a two way street. Not only are they being associated with us, but we're also being linked them. We don't want our brand linked to cheap crap. They'd want to be paying an absolute truckload as it weakens our brand.

Lol being aligned with KFC in no way devalues Collingwood

Tell that to Steph Chiocci!

Wrighty really going the extra mile here to lure Monkey back to our coaching panel

Of course it does. A big KFC emblem on our jumper makes people form an association - for some that will be a positive if they are KFC fans - for more it will be a negative as even those who like it know it's cheap crap.

Nobody will be turned away from Collingwood due to a KFC sponsorship

Not directly. But it's a bit like saying noone will buy KFC because their logo is on a Collingwood jumper - and in a way it's true - the mechansim by which it works isn't that direct. Meanwhile companies pay enormous money for sponsorship deals as it does increase sales.

 

[unplugged]

I'll take Fast Food anytime - insurance companies are cold blooded bastards that try every way conceivable to wriggle out of their contractual obligations.

That's right. Insurance companies are Dayne Beams in a business format.
