McDonalds Partners Lions
March 26, 2013

McDonald’s has signed on as the official Junior Partner of the Brisbane Lions.

The three-year deal, which was announced today, sees McDonald’s become the official partner of Club junior activity – including the naming rights to Bernie’s Gabba Gang, junior clinics, junior membership programs, as well as the match-day junior mascot.

McDonald’s Mt Gravatt Licensee Mark Roberts said McDonald’s was delighted to become an official sponsor of the Brisbane Lions, which aligns with McDonald’s heritage and culture.

“We’ve been a big supporter of AFL Brisbane Juniors over the past four years and we’ve just signed on again as the official sponsor for another three years,” Mark said.

Pros: More money for the club.

Cons: The club lending its name to fast food advertising at children.

I'm split - quickly, someone, tell me how I'm supposed to feel! Maybe Today Tonight will cover this to clear it up for me.

Look at it this way, Maccas already are involved in a lot of junior activities. Coming on board with us it isn't anything new. It's not like they have suddenly decided to support sport and we are the testing ground. I think in the current climate, any sponsorship is good. Probably smart going by Maccas, we are a team on the up, and our academy system really starts kicking in this year, which can tie back to the junior footy they are putting their name on.

Could use with a few more big ticket Brand sponsors like a telco or something.

Would be nicer if some of those QLD mining companies got on board too.

Maccas are not the enemy....its up to parents to take responsibility for what their kids eat.

Am rapt we have another sponsor.....why feel anything other than elation for the club?...

... Maccas are just another business advertising to the masses..just like other food products are advertised.

..can't recall the last time I saw a kids happy meal ad.

oh, and they are sponsoring us now....instead of the Pies!

In that case bring back Philip Morris, there's no need to protect morons buying their healthy product.

Shrooms are a good source of protein and many vitamins.

Can't they just offer the fat kids a free Big Mac to play a game of footy?

This is a great sponsor for our youngsters. Like them or not Maccas is ubiquitous. I see this as a good relationship for the club. Just need the McDs to open those deep pockets for some club assistance. If it meant increased funding for the club I'd be happy to see the golden arches on the pocket space of a Lions guernsey.

This reminds me of an Auskick game that I saw at the Gabba at half time once. All of the kids were quite skinny and energetic, except this one. He wasn't able to get any air time or run all that very fast. At the end of their games they usually have to trot off the ground pretty quickly. All the kids left the ground but the tubby little fellow couldn't break into more than a light canter broken by occasional walks.

He was still coming off as the players and ump were coming on and a parent from the side ran in and picked him up to carry him off.

Anyway, the moral of the story is that Auskick can be hilariously entertaining.
