Alcohol sponsorship and rugby, what are our views?

[Rinkadink]

I think it's important that we as a group recognise that we don't need to watch rugby in order to drink beer.

I don't really drink beer, only cider*

Is this an acceptable substitute?

*Only the proper stuff, not the sweet fake horrible flavoured water you get in all the wrong places.

Most of us prefer drinking via the mouth but whatever floats your boat

Nothing like a single malt enema to really flush you out for 3 days straight

This is an uncomfortably English message. I don't think I can comment without bias.

My drug of choice while watching Wales at the minute is MDMA. I find I care a lot less about the result while I’m gurning my nut off.

Isn't the air in Wales full of psychedelic substances anyway? Something about a failed excitement to pacify the locals?

I don't drink alcohol, but I'm ok with the alcohol ads. what realy fks me over is the constant gambling ads every game tho. What a great idea, let's tell all the children watching how wonderful paying money to supposedly win $2.50 is

Advertising has taught me goodlooking women you'd want to be with are charmed by schlubby men who spend their free time gambling and drinking. I might’ve thought women would prefer someone who does almost anything other than that in their free time but I was wrong.

I don't drink alcohol either and I agree. Gambling ads are all over the place here in the states (radio, print, TV, internet, etc).

I'm strongly against both alcohol and gambling ads/sponsorship. Gambling is worse though. People who are promoting such stuff are true criminals in my opinion

agreed. The way they portray both of them as wonderful things is not at all beneficial. especially to children who are easily swayed, especially by the whole bright lights, bushy tails approach they use.

What confuses me tho is how they can get such seemingly good guys like Issy Dagg and John Afoa to advertise it?!

Is he not? I don't really know. Seemed like a decent person from what I have seen

Not confusing him with Israel Folau are you, unless there is something about Dagg I'm unaware of?
