Oztalgian 3,217 Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 I notice with dismay that yet again the shirt sponsor of the Reds is a gambling company "Football Index" Looking further I found that in the Championship 17 of the 24 clubs have gambling sponsors. In the Premier league 10 of the twenty clubs are sponsored by gambling outlets. I wonder what this is doing to distort young fans minds allowing them to see gambling as the norm. Only one of the sponsors of Premier league clubs is owned by a UK registered corporation. An Australian owned finance/stock trading company sponsors Sheffield United to the tune of 3.5 million pounds. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Oz, I think drink and gambling advertising is rife amongst sport, but I'm sure youngsters aren't swayed by such things. I was drinking years before supporting Forest on a regular basis. As for gambling, who on earth is going to be tempted by that overweight, talentless slob, Ray Winston? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
