    i’m conflicted, taking money from companies I don’t like in the form of advertising doesn’t bother me, I mean, Santos sponsors it but ?? who gives a shit? are you planning to buy whatever it is that Santos sell? if not screw it just take the money

    I’m like if BP wants to sponsor a climate change conference go for it, so long as they don’t get a chance to lobby and do other things, just a name on a banner, go for your life

    But I understand this is controversial, there’s a big thing against gambling advertising on during the Rugby but I have never gambled and never will, so from my point of view they’re just giving money to something I actually want

      Yes but the problem is they often do get a say about what happens with their sponsorship… and not everyone is as immune to advertising as you are.
