Quote from: Snapchap on August 29, 2025, 10:13:36 AMWhy are we talking about Guinness? Nobody is asking to boycott Allianz over what they used to do. They are asking to boycott them over what they are currently doing.

The GAA don't mind where the sponsorship comes from, we've taken it from who'll ever stump up the most cash regardless of their past or their beliefs.

Their interest lies with the grassroots of the game and now the grassroots want a change. Very difficult to get high level sponsors that don't have a bad connection with something..

Getting rid of the current ones at the drop of a hat won't isn't a 'good' fix

All well and good saying out, but have the protestors got someone coming in?   
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

I could envisage protests at games including protesters with banners entering the field during games. There is very strong feeling and a lot of high profile players and ex-players protesting Allianz sponsorship.

Precipitate action might be inappropriate. Israel is losing respectability by the day, companies that did not see a problem earlier in the year might be becoming increasingly uncomfortable. You could have all sorts of disruption aimed at the Irish branch, when Allianz HQ were planning to step back anyway.

So, f**k it. The sponsors are literally funding genocide, but it would be rude to annoy them. Nothing can be done.

So any of that stuff you've posted can you point towards were I said f**k it?

I've said have the protestors got someone coming in.

I know you're not really concerned as this is just an another go at the GAA over the garrison games that you hold in such high regard.

You really need to try harder

Getting Allianz out is priority. As Colm O'Rourke said: "Sometimes the right thing costs money but in this case it is the least of what we should do," he said.

"I think all club members should be made aware of what is happening in their name because of the sponsorship of the competition.

"GAA members probably aren't that aware of this. When they do become aware they will want the link with Allianz to be broken once and for all.

"If it means that we don't have a sponsor for the National League Competition, so be it".

This has gone out to the clubs. I can't see this sponser staying. Protests at games will be massive, I've no doubt. The GAA won't want this publicity.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.
I suppose interrupting Sunday mass and intimidating aul dolls is easier.

You're referring to one incident in Armagh? Activists will not be afraid to intrude onto the field of league games sure the church is now calling for Allianz to be boycotted. Just need to interrupt aul dolls at a service at the Vatican now for the Pope to call out 'genocide' and his own country for funding it.

2 actually. There was one in Dublin too. Despite that the Catholic Church in Ireland actually do quite a bit for Palestine.
Anyway, the activists seem more interested in moving products about the shelves of Home Bargains and torturing their staff.
Yet, they leave the GAA and Allianz alone. Beats me.

Meh...

This campaign has been going on ages including Gaels Against Genocide and Palestine Action. Instead of 'meh' and sitting on the ditch, get involved and get your club to join with the many others putting pressure on the GAA. Allianz will be forced out make no mistake.

Why has it taken so long? Where were they during the league this year?

Get your Pope to call out 'genocide' and his country, the US, funding it. Pathetic leadership
