Talking Footy

Jesus Xman, i think its time you have a think about the orgs you're working for. Striker is right, come join us in the 21st century and leave these bogus orgs, which will undoubtably bring you down at some point.

You mean like the long list of retailers who sell Nike etc, plus all the people who buy their products?

Stay on topic please Xman, moderate yourself here for crying out loud.

well I work too you know.

And I know for certainty that my employer doesnt know exactly where each of our suppliers manufacture their products, let alone check this repeatedly.

Then your employer is not engaging in best business practice. If I find out who it is I'll avoid them if I can until they catch up with 21st century business.

good luck with that!

Anyway, a few years ago i worked for a business that was taken over by another. Even their due diligence didnt find out all details about the companies practices. How many businesses would do this annually for every contractor?

All of them. If they are serious about business in the 21st century that is. And if your company didn't find out about the new owner's practices then there was no due diligence.

Hmmm, I wonder what KE and Striker will say form themselves now?

I find it very amusing that an organisation that is basically funded by problem gamblers and alcohol companies can find themselves on top of a pedestel. Noone in the western world can cast the first stone here.

One beer company (Queensland's home brew) and one gambling organisation. And one that doesn't host the vast majority of problem gamblers. So where's the problem? Heck there are three companies there that deal in NON alcoholic beverages and two of them exclusively!!

Want to try again, X?

The Nrl is held together by pokies revenue. You can smell the fear when we talk pokies reform. Lol

BULL! You show me a Storm balance sheet that relies on pokies! You show me a Leagues Club that relies on pokies to make money!

X, we can't stop players from buying the stupid things! If we could we would and there wouldn't be a problem!

They sponsor the team! The Broncos take money from Nike in return for giving them exposure! They know exactly what Nike does, everyone knows, yet they continue to take the as a major sponsor. At least the AAFL dumped Sherrin once they found out. The NRL continue to support Nike!

Shame NRL shame!

Both the AFL and more so the NRL have issues with a reliance on poker machine revenue. Even the Storm with sponsership comming from crown get money indirrectly from poker machines or do you think that accepting money from crown has nothing to do with poker machines??

WE'VE GOT NO CHOICE!!!! Players buy the things, so Nike had them over a barrel. We couldn't stop them from buying the things so the players had the Bronco's over a barrel. And the rest of the NRL! Now if we can just get people to games we'd be able to compete better and get players to stop doing that and start buying Adidas and whatever else so we can finally do something about it!

The AFL has a choice, but it took them two years to do something about it!

What are you talking about? They sponsor the Broncos, the NRLs richest team! If the NRL had the balls they would tell Nike to take their sponsorship and shove it! Surely a team with 2million heartland population can get another sponsor.

Dont you get it? The NRL are promoting Nike, yet you guys are criticising the AFL for using sherrin even after they dumped them!

FMD!

Oh great! Do that and lose 33 percent of the playing base! You going to do that? You going to tell every player who uses Nike to stop? Good luck with that, Einstein! That's why they have us over a barrel!! Are we clear now?
