What an absolute bullshit artist. Absolutely washing his hands of a serious issue in the sport and pretending it isn’t a problem.
So that’s why companies spend trillions on advertising. Because it does nothing!
This is like the police turning blind eyes to a mafia owned business.
“We’ve seen no evidence because we refuse to look into it, it would make us look like cunts”
Shameless
Well then wouldn’t we see the sponsorships ceasing because obviously they have no effect?
Then why are companies paying for it?
The people who rule football are nothing more than shameless corrupts, and statements like this proves It.
People who gamble were already gambling. The advertising just directs their gambling to a specific place.
I never gamble, so seeing a gambling add does not make me want to gamble.
Of course he’d say that. It’s all about the money coming in.
So many idiots in this thread with no critical thinking ability. This is a perfectly believable scenario.
‘Hurrrr durrr why would gambling companies bother advertising then’
They’re competing for the attention of preexisting gambling addicts. It can’t be assumed that these advertisements have any effect on the overall size of that pie.
The business is driven by whales. Personally, I find it hard to believe that the overall number people with horrific gambling addictions is a function of ‘are clubs are allowed to have gambling sponsors or not’. Whatever the case, it’s certainly valid to require evidence of the effects before making assumptions.
Policies like this are pencil pushing, time wasting virtue signals. Does bugger all to help anyone. They are a creation of gambling PR departments, who love discourse centered around this meaningless shit, rather than difficult questions be asked about the moral core of their business. Be above it.
Sky Bet in shambles they’ve sponsored the entirety of the EFL for nothing
Wow, so advertising does not work? bold claim Cotton.
Its just pure gaslighting at this point.
Someone should tell the sponsors that. They seem to be wasting their money!
You can’t explain something to someone when his living depends on him not understanding it
