Good discussion Kingair.

My advanced years means I can remember not just tobacco sponsors, but also Playboy magazine and Daily Planet.

Hell, Tooheys even sponsored the Great Race for a few years.

Not sure which garden path this is all going to lead down as how many of the big companies with the cashflow to back sport are squeaky clean? Not many I'd say.

Let's take gambling, alcohol, and tobacco out. Then remove the businesses that are not carbon neutral, are exploiting third world workers, not into energy, mining or gas, or don't practice active recycling.

Who's left to sponsor sport? The Rooty Hill RSL? Oops supporters of gambling so they're out too.

Never heard the expression "woke economy" but it rings true.
Could also call it the "I'm offended by that..." economy.

Interestingly if the players/drivers object to the sponsors, they will be the losers as that's where the bulk of their salaries come from...
