Agard Days Night Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 I have been made aware of a social media post by our sponsors, that contains an obscene amount of profanity. Even putting to one side the dubious morals of associating with a betting firm, should we as a family club be happy to be sponsored a company who is putting out messages such as ‘Fuc* off you Spanish c***’. Disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of bookies use jokey content like this on Twitter - but this is definitely an anomaly. I can't think of any other time I've seen one that used language like that in a tweet. I'm surprised this got approved in their social media/marketing dept. Talking about it doesn't mean people are being "sensitive" btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None in the replies - https://twitter.com/MansionBet/status/1423554434488016899 For a bit of context, (you may already know) but the clip they're using is of Bootlegger the Wrexham fan/internet personality. I am surprised they've used that particular one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Really not ideal. I’m fine with a betting firm as a sponsor if they’re the highest bidder, but they should have to behave like professionals as a bare minimum. Not many companies are gonna tweet that.

Jeez Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Serious knicker twisting on here, yes it’s a bit out of order using the C word. But it is a betting site for over 18s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuber Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Ultimately this is a betting firm (i.e. 18+) aiming at an adult audience on a social media platform where the minimum age is the same. While I agree the tweet is poor taste, and they likely could have used a differing bootlegger clip, can't say I really see the issue. Not exactly as if Lego has gone and posted it.
