Conor McKeon: Does Allianz's global policy of funding Israel make them untenable as a sponsorship partner for the GAA?

While we are at it

Arthur Guinness and his successors largely did not employ Catholics for a significant period, actively avoiding hiring them until the 1960s, although the company did not have qualms about selling its products to them. The Guinness family and company were known for their loyalty to the British Crown and their opposition to Irish Home Rule and the United Irishmen, even his descendants donated to the UVF arms fund.   

What do they sponsor? That deal being cut is being used as a precedent

They sponsored the GAA for many many years, not a peep. If we delve really deep into this, we'd struggle to use a device that hasn't got some sort of Israeli connection.

The sporting ban is a start and dropping the sponsors does send a message, what else do they sponsors

Allianz prob don't really care if they get dropped. How many of us have different insurance policies  with them? Are you going to be arsed getting rid if it costs you more money to renew somewhere else. ?
All big companies have questionable policies and pasts.

This is going to run. John 3:17 as the example. What companies hate is  bad publicity.
Banners will generate attention. The GAA won't like it. RTÉ and the rest of the media will love it.

They won't like such huge negative publicity. And while some may be signed up to them already it will affect future new policies being taken out.

Lindsey Graham is menacing the Norwegians and their wealth fund because they have sold their holding in Caterpillar.

Is it Allianz who have the contract for insurance for clubs, i.e. clubs are bound to take up club insurance from them.  Presumably the GAA has some timebound contract with them for this.

There was a peep. Read the article I linked, they weren't renewed as a result of grassroots whinging.

The article is subscription so can't read it, so Guinness (who I was referring to) were dropped because of their past? Or because alcohol sponsorship in sport has changed?

Because a grassroots movement in the GAA felt taking money from a hooch company was incompatible with sport.

Point is this has been done before

It was being done globally.

My point (sighs)

They didn't mind taking the money considering their history politically and financially towards enemies of the state, also not employing catholics till the late 60's. But I thought you knew where I was going, but obviously oblivious

Oh I get the point. Guinness used to be sectarian. But they had long stopped. It was a hooch thing.

Why 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.

MR2 is playing relativism. Every company has skeletons, why pick on genocide enablers.
