Australian Netball

Post by noosard » December 17, 2022, 12:25 pm

A bombshell report indicates the drama of netball’s sponsorship storm is far from over with the Diamonds coming close to breaking point.
Despite the Victorian Government stepping in with a $15 million sponsorship deal, Netball Australia was reportedly considering pulling the Diamonds out of next month’s Quad Series in Cape Town.

As Gina's rejected sponsorship was replaced 100% with the new sponsor, how can you make this claim?

it was in News Limited today, not the real news. Just a sensationalized News Limited article on a slow news day. OMG read the article it as lame as can be.

Will be out begging again? The article quotes Netball Australia as stating

“Netball Australia is incredibly pleased that the Diamonds will be participating in January’s Netball Quad Series a key lead-up event to the World Cup in July 2023 that will also be played in South Africa.”

FFS, netball Australia secured their new sponsor nearly 2 months ago.

When was this 'bombshell' report written? It has to be at least two months old but only reported today!

It might be a good idea to run a common-sense tape over sensationalised articles from the denizens of the popular press before even bothering to broadcast obviously stupid news items.

Just dig a tiny bit deeper - this is a total beat up by the Murdoch press.

Bombshell indeed. :D

Thank you Jack. We gave a bit to ---- to each other, but you stayed with your principles. Well done.
