Palace Old Geezer Midhurst 23 Mar 21 1.31pm | |
---|---|
Palace currently has the Malaysian online betting company W88 as it's shirt sponsor. As the adverse effect of gambling addiction becomes more apparent it looks like there are moves afoot to ban betting firms from sponsorship deals with soccer clubs. There are seven other Premiership clubs with similar deals. Man Utd have said that no betting company has made their short list for next season and both Aston Villa and Everton have moved from gambling to online car sales firm Cazoo. So, if Palace follow and show support for a more ethical firm or industry, what company would you like to see emblazoned on our shirts next year? BTW, I've just seen that W88 is also the name of a US thermonuclear weapon.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

Oops. This thread should, of course be headed 2021/22. Personally I blame Covid - everybody else does!

I can understand your sentiments and do think there is too much emphasis on gambling in sports. I have a friend who owns nothing ever, simply as he is addicted to betting.

I'm sure this was how we ended up with W88, but it seems there may be a ban imposed similar to the ban on tobacco advertising in F1.

Dulux as watching Palace is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Or SAGA as it sums up the age of the team.

Agree & I hate watching a UK feed of a game which has wall to wall betting adverts usually with some cheeky 'Gor Blimey' geezer espousing a particular website. Chavvy & uncomfortable to watch.
