Moved Thread Pressure mounts on Dockers to give Woodside sponsorship the heave ho

[Aristotle Pickett]

What are the Dockers thinking? They have a duty of care to their members imo.


'The Fremantle Dockers are under increasing pressure to ditch their $2 million sponsorship deal with oil and gas titan Woodside, with an 8000-strong petition presented to the club’s headquarters on Monday.

Woodside has sponsored the Dockers since the 2010 season with the current deal due to expire in October.'

Pressure mounts on Dockers to give Woodside sponsorship the heave ho

High-profile West Australian organisations have left fossil fuel partnerships recently. Now fans are questioning whether Freo will kick its Woodside habit.

I wasn’t aware that Netball Australia were in financial trouble? Oh that’s right, they’re actually in a solid position now.

Geez I hate when people use s**t buzzwords that make no absolutely sense.

It's tainted money like pokies revenue imo. There's the carbon emmissions plus the Indigenous lands they destroy which woukdn't sit well with the Indigenous players and supporters I imagine.

Courtesy of Dan's $15 million.

Before that, they were in all sorts.

Poor argument to justify a racist organisation and their sportswashing.

Poor argument to justify a racist organisation.

If we delve into the archives of any organisation that has been around for longer than 5 minutes, no doubt they could all be labelled as racist, sexist or homophobic.

If only there was another team with similar values to Woodside that they could sponsor.

Woodside-by-side indeed.

Nah, another poor argument. Anyway this is about Feo taking money off a known gas spruiker and destroyer of cultural sites.

Yes. Government bailouts are always a sign of great strength.

Richmond sponsors:
KFC - in a country nearly as fat as America
Furphy and Jim Beam - alcohol destroys how many lives?
crypto.com - pyramid schemers
Pepsi - cos the salt and fat from KFC needs to be washed down by diabetes causing drinks

Destroying the planet is pretty bad though don't you think?

Which had absolutely nothing to do with a withdrawal of Gina’s sponsorship $$. They were a number of issues unrelated to ‘go woke, go broke’.

Pretty sure its you as a consumer who is doing all the damage.

Always a excuse to make profits for the rich corporates isn't there?

Some high profile supporters spoke up in October last year.

The supporters say the club's good name is being "used" by the company.

"We should not allow our club's good name to be used by a corporation to enhance its reputation when its core activities are so clearly threatening our planet."

Very few Freo fans are giving this any credence at all.

Most of the people in that photo weren't even Freo members.

I'm sure Freo have tens of thousands of members?

Freo need to offload these jerks Rob, it's giving Freo a bad name.

One way to look at companies like Woodside is they are evil.

Another, they support our way of life, including providing light at Freo training and night matches.


Another way is supporting companies like Woodside transition over the next 50 years to have a larger and larger green footprint, will make far more difference to the globe than anything else.

Personally I don't like to point the fingers at companies like Woodside for consumers choices. If you have a car, a computing device, eat food or wear clothes; it is a huge chance your supporting Woodside or competitors products.

They provide the lights? That's a choice , you don't need coal or gas to provide the lights.
Everyone who lives in the modern workd uses electricty, it's not the consumers fault.
It is the fault of the polluters, their lobby groups and the polititions they donate to.
Sorry , but a poor argument.
Freo have a choice to promote an emmiter, or get another sponsor.
Consumers don't have that choice.

What the * are you on about? They are in a horrid financial state still. Collingwood team gone, West Coast Fever a decent chance of not going on next year too unless WA Govt puts funding in. No collective bargaining agreement in place and a emergency agreement was needed in order to get the players to play through the World Cup

Each signature included their current paid-up membership number ?

Anyway, isn't there a thread on the SRP Forum for this discussion?
