king canary 7,605 Posted June 7, 2021 6 minutes ago, Ruffles said: If we are going down this road then doesn’t that rule about just about every company ever? Which brand doesn’t have a history of questionable advertising or practices? Rules out a lot of potential new owners too. Weren’t Leicester’s owners quite big with that bizarre elephant polo tournament that use to run across Asia? Considering they are often lauded as the good guys that wouldn’t leave many options open on here. Im not happy about this sponsor but I’m finding the overreaction somewhat hypocritical. Is there something else going on here? I hope everyone dismayed about this won’t be disappointed when we don’t unveil an Adidas or Nike kit in a few weeks. There is a difference between having a history of it and doing it right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Similarly, that because Leicesters owners don't act in the same way now they shouldn't be branded with the same brush (I note, not you by the way, several posters who would take literally any owner with money coming down hard on the club for this sponsorship agreement, blisfully unaware of the irony) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apple, Microsoft happy to censor content to sell in China, Adidas with sweatshops etc. to be honest, I agree with the negative response, but there has been an overreaction by fans in my opinion. Not least your belief that Kensell will lose his job over this. I’m not suggesting your view is outrageous or offensive. I just agree with the earlier poster who described it as knee jerk.

My Mum came through to my bedroom around half 4 with the landline phone saying it was Norwich City on the phone wanting to speak to me............. I wish my son had been treated as leniently a couple of years later. He was employed at the club and took a photo of one of the new kits (away kit or 3rd kit I think) and sent it to a mate Unfortunately his mate put it on social media and all hell let loose which resulted in my son being sacked.

I mean…it’s a shame your son lost his job but that is quite clearly an abuse of position and against company policy. The chap above is an outsider to the company and exploited the weakness of the club’s own systems. Also is it that lenient to have the police involved and being hassled by journalists?

Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,891 Posted June 7, 2021 Well. Somebody done f*cked up big time. My suggestion to all those who have no issue with this: put the names of your wives/girlfriends/mothers/daughters forward to the club for their new half-time entertainment show - 'Dirty Delia's Mega Meat Deep Throat Special'. Funnily enough, 'DDMMDTS' just happens to be the sound your wives/girlfriends/mothers/daughters will make as they greedily gobble down on their substantial half time snack. I'm sure you'd all be happy to be on the pitch beside your loved ones as they go down on a Farkefurter (mayo optional). We could capture your proud faces on the big screen as your nearest and dearest chow down on their meaty treat. OTBC 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JB 115 Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) I think it's worth remembering that the women in the photos are not being forced to do so against their will. They're being paid and they've chosen to partake. Giving women the choice of career is surely empowering to them and the complete opposite of sexism. Am not buying into the idea this goes against any "ethical" thing.

Incredible really) and fans of NCFC threatening to not buy new shirts, which hits an already inadequate cash flow.. truly amateurish! Not been a great week so far for the club!

Not the best pr from the club but far from warrants the responses it has gained, particularly from people like Rob Butler who ‘working local’ seems to want his moment of national fame. I’m sure you could find plenty of things about many organisations should you choose to look. Edited June 7, 2021 by Branston Pickle 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
