I get that. That's quite legit in terms of "we don't want your filthy money".
Guess that depends on your viewpoint eh. It's legal isn't it? What if the strip club is owned and staffed 100% by women? Is it still filthy? I'm assuming it was women stripping in there...
I assumed they were taking a stand against the blatant exploitation of men desperate for a view of the female body.

You and your optimism.
I see @Crazy-Horse has covered it.
I don’t see any hypocrisy in that case.

Not hypocrisy, jsut short sightedness in my opinion. Take the money, state you don't endorse stripping but welcome the gift.
It's kind of the reverse of sportswashing, but it does introduce the issue of what is 'clean' money and what is 'dirty'. I understand the refuge position, but it's putting taking moral high ground over actually helping women who need it. A classic tension of pragmatism against purity.

@mariner4life I love the anti mining brigade.
Basically if it isn’t wood or from a carcass of an animal, it’s come from a mine or a quarry.
Give up your phones, your tvs and nearly everything you own all you anti mining tools.
Even our soft as shite govt has backtracked on mining
-
I’m not a hundy sure of the exact fact but gold in NZ is three times more enriched than Aussie and other large gold producers.
So that means you only need a third of the displacement to get the same amount.
The more we displace oil and gas the more we need to mine.

I was discussing this yesterday with a mate and he summed it up beautifully: This wasn't sponsorship, it was an act of charity. Gina would have got absolutely nothing out of this given no one watches the sport.
I blame the sports administrators for not pulling these players into the office and telling them that they'll either STFU or find another job.

@Nevorian said in Sportswashing:
The political spokesperson endorsing the net ballers position is independent senator David Pocock. Would be interested to see what companies logos he wore while he was playing
He's another hypocritical moron. Made millions from the benefits of fossil fuels and mining.
I bet he never once gave a thought to how he managed to fly to a stadium, play under lights wearing a kit, mouthguard and headgear, televised to an audience without fossil fuels and mining.

@antipodean wasn’t he playing for the Force when Twiggy Forrest was secretly bankrolling it?

The irony is strong in this one. It clearly wasn't enough money.
David Pocock set to switch allegiance from Western Force and sign with Brumbies this weekend
"For the past six months, RugbyWA has done everything within its power to retain his services as a leading player within the Western Force. "David's concerns were principally around the club's inability to recruit high-profile players with this challenge highlighted by the recent opportunity presented to (Wallabies and Reds halfback) Will Genia which ultimately was unsuccessful in bringing him to WA.''

David Pocock is a muppet of the highest order.
This guy took a sabbatical on full pay, played overseas for more coin, travelled, then came back and abruptly retired.
He has now developed a conscience that apparently means no junior athletes should be developed unless they're sponsored by the fantasy that is green hydrogen.
He can fuck right off

That's a new word I can introduce at inappropriate moments. Thanks!
