| 1489053 | 2022-10-24 22:02:00 | It never ceases to amaze me how two different people can read an article and interpret it entirely differently. For instance I interpret the article as saying “A small group of Loony Left Wing Loser’s, who are already $7M in debt, blow a $15M sponsorship over what a dead man said 40 years ago”. Unbelievable. I suppose today they’ll glue themselves to something. :rolleyes: That's exactly how I read it as well. :) |

| 1489057 | 2022-10-25 19:21:00 | Then I see this. and my mind thinks, "Why do sponsors think that just because someone makes a lot of money in the entertainment world, they are actually intelligent? :punk Adidas ended its lucrative partnership with the rapper formerly known as Kanye ‘Ye’ West over his offensive and antisemitic remarks, which drew widespread criticism from Jewish groups, celebrities and others on social media who said the German sportswear company was being too slow to act. Ken :confused: |

| 1489058 | 2022-10-25 20:29:00 | Kanye West is bi-polar and always has been, it's well-known. He's always exhibited erratic behaviour. Coming out publicly with anti-Jewish rhetoric shows that he is completely out of touch with the real world and should be ignored not punished. He's mentally ill. "German sportswear company was being too slow to act" notice this as it is valid in relationship to the netball thread from the other day. In other words the German company is not allowed to have any connection to Kanye because he has been anti-semitic, just like the Australian CEO had made anti-indigenous/genocidal statements but this is not to be acted on, why the inconsistency? |

| 1489059 | 2022-10-25 20:58:00 | Wasn't one of the other reasons they withdrew because they wanted the sponsorship money to go to the actual game, not the bureaucratic monster that Netball Australia and other sports have come? Most of the money going on administration instead of players. That reason, I agree with. |

| 1489061 | 2022-10-26 04:19:00 | Of course he was. I don't think anyone is saying other than that. It was in an era when people said out loud what a heap of people think but don't say out loud these days. Racism will never go away, ever. It will just hide under the covers of society! Another thing my philosopher son says that unfortunately these days, "if you're woke. you're broke" Pretty well fits the bill with what's happened with Australian Netball. Ken ;) |
