Given Qatar Airways have seen fit to randomly pull Australian citizens off flights and effectively rape them, will the Swans now be dumping them as sponsors or is violence against women still ok for the AFL to support ?.
I think that was the airport authority rather than the airline giving the orders.

Not sure there is any separation to be honest but fair point.
They're probably all run by the government ultimately, I just don't think it was the Qatar Airways management or staff who made the call. Makes sense to dump them regardless considering the country's human rights record.
