I don't have a problem with being sponsored by a betting agency. Obesity and heart disease are a blight on the community so being sponsored by pies and flavoured milk probably isn't ideal either. It's all about choices.
But that's a fair deflection. It's like saying "Would you rather be sponsored by Hitler or Stalin?" (godwins). Neither are good options unless you are purely after the backing they provide and not the image they create.
Take into account the issues caused by Kyrgios' brother Christos wearing a sportsbet shirt at the tennis, it bought on some bad press. Betting has a place, but it probably shouldn't be front and centre with us. Particularly as I mentioned earlier that it doesn't align with our community focus and recent change of motto from "we exist to win premierships" to "we exist to win premierships and make our community proud".
Also consider the fact how much McDonalds puts back into children's sport, mchappyday, Ronald foundation and so on. Sportsbet don't have that same 'check and balance' on their karma so to speak.
Long story short, if we accepted UBet as joint major - then it would be for the money and the exposure for their brand and nothing else. That isn't us. Lower level sponsorship, fine, but not the majors - where we actively need to work together for our image and the good of the community.
What would be interesting is if they came out and said we want to sponsor port because of our community work, that would be an interesting angle for them to take. Alas, I doubt UBet will be our major lol.
