More than 4 out of every 5 Victorians would support the ban of sponsorships from alcohol and junk food companys and organisations according to a new survey(http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/05/04/2889408.htm), something that is very similar to when their was a banning on tobacco sponsorships in the 1980s, a new survey has found that over 4/5 Victorians would support this action. I for one disagree with this, even though it may have a bad effect on the public, the amount of money they pour into the game far outweighs the publicity that the alcohol and junk food companys get, and in the end it is really up to the consumer on what they purchase isnt it?On the other side of the arguement the benefits of bringing something like this in is pretty strong, the local clubs will no longer be exposed to these products and would probably result in less consumption overall, but without the sponsorships where will the money come from to support the clubs?
In the end i think this survey will fall on deaf ears and wont progress anywhere because the money loss from losing these sponsorships would be to hard to replace, but you never know what will happen in this day and age.
sports clubs need sponsorship gom alcohol and junk food companies.. other than like merchandise/ sports stores that is the only kind of sponsorship they attract.. everyone wants to have a beer and a hot dog at the footy.. yeah if there wasn't the advertisments the public would consume less but people need to exercise their own will power because the money sponsorship provides the clubs improves the quality of the game they see.
ReplyDeleteI think that removing the food/alcohol sponsoring is not a good idea, otherwise where will the clubs get their sponsors from??? It's not easy to get a sponsor that will help with the clubs so I disagree with the banning of the sponsors.
