Are clubs directly profiting from alcohol or junk food like teams are with pokies though?
They benefit from sponsorships.

Alcohol contributes to depression, junk food causes all sorts of issues like heart disease, cancer etc Gambling also preys on problem gamblers.
Sorry I'm not buying your subjective morality.
Sports gambling is actually part of the sport. Whose the best player or team etc.What is the payoff or product you get from other forms of gambling?
Half gone as of 31 July. Other half will go in 2022.Still no need to spruce you will get rid of the pokie machines in 2022 but are still going to keep the profits up to then. Let us know in 2022 when you don't have them anymore

Here's a hint, bad business management is giving up a huge revenue stream instantly rather than dowmgrading over time.

Bentleigh will be rid of pokies you would assume given Melbourne have committed to maintaining their operations there.They aren't gone they will just be owned by someone else.
What do you want us to do? Start a revolution against Gambling or run a Football Club?Melbourne must sleep well at night knowing that when they cease owning the licence for these pokie machines that society will be better off as these machines wont be in existence........oh wait
It’s pretty important we have a good year so we can drive up our memberships. Another year without finals would see people not signing on or cancelling them.They got about $16 million from the AFL last year, the Dees. Be interesting to see if that goes up again this year.

So what, because they exist Melbourne should operate them?Yeah but the licenses will be sold to someone else who will the put the machines somewhere.

Its not a machine that is just a spinning wheel thats set by the house.

The fact is it makes every difference.That's some great justifications you've got going there but the fact is there is no difference no matter how many times you repeat it.

Its why the gun nuts sound ridiculous when they say that more people die in cars than being shot by guns as a way of defending their obsession.
No matter how many times you try to deny it.

Not at all.Haha ok now you're trying to equate it with murder
Not at all.
Just equating your argument with some of their bullshit arguments. Not the act itself.
Nice attempt at it though

It was an idiotic statement and false equivalency.
The fact is your club and the AFL earns money from gambling sponsorships, alcohol sponsorships and junk food sponsorships. These products all have extreme adverse impacts on society yet you are happy to take that blood money while hilariously singling out one particular gambling revenue stream as being "bad". It's the very definition of hypocrisy.
No it isnt.
You were using the same "other things are just as bad" argument those nutjobs use.
Completely different.
As stated numerous times, while those things can all cause issues they actually have a product or something that you get from it.
Pokies you dont.
At all.
Nada.
Maybe the odd few dollars in return.
If you are lucky enough to have the owners timing right.
But please keep on defending them.
Its amusing.
Even your own club sees the folly.

Youre the one adding "getting something bad"."You get nothing at all, absolutely nothing, unless you do get something"
So if you do something bad and u get something bad for it, thats better than doing something bad and getting nothing for it.. ? Because u got something... even though that thing is bad for you.. but getting something is good.. for reasons..
Youre the one adding "getting something bad".
Never said it was.

Still a food product that people enjoy.Junkfood is objectively bad for your health.
