GPA exceptionalism

[Duine Inteacht Eile]

No. I work for Home Bargains and I'm being intimidated and abused on a daily basis because my employer stocks a certain product.

Anyway, any protests since the summer?

I very much doubt you personally are being intimidated.
Good luck with your Allianz campaign.

[Duine Inteacht Eile]

And you with a lot to say about another person suffering abuse and intimidation in their workplace on another thread.
But not when the narrative doesn't suit.

Good luck with your Allianz campaign.

That case was reported and proven. You do the same... if it's true.

Repetition doesn't strengthen argument. Shop workers should not be intimidated. This is the first time I've heard a shop worker make that claim. I don't believe you. Simple as that. You've gone from old women at Mass to you being victim. Give me a break.

Just don't handle that product then, good lad..

Amazing take.

Alternatively I could use....

Over 100,000 civilians massacred, including old women and children, and your abiding gripe is Allianz sponsor the GAA.

But that would be ridiculous.

Allianz are the biggest institutional funder of the war.

For the GAA to say the UN are wrong, that it's a holding company of Allianz funding the genocide, not the entity that sponsors them so all os good, is actually more offensive than the sponsorship deal.

But ultimately if the GAA can't/won't pull out of a deal at the recommendation of the Ethics committee, why have an ethics committee?

[RedHand88]

I have a few too.

One is that activists haven't the balls to tackle the GAA (perhaps interrupting big games) but go for mass goers and shop workers.

Watch this space. Allianz won't be sponsoring the league... or there will be no league.
As I said the Mass thing was wrong and happened once, a year ago.

Most people don't really care or aren't bothered about the tenuous link. Otherwise where would it end? The list of companies you're supposed to avoid seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

I know this sort of stuff feels really big in the twitter bubble but if you ask the average person on the street, most will be indifferent.

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, a legal scholar and expert on human rights has called the GAA out on this ... so maybe not so tenious. Someone is bullshitting.
You're right bout the 'average person' on the street.. sure we seen that during 'The Troubles' when people in the 26 counties couldn't have cared less what happened here. "I'm alright fuc you Jack..."

Tenuous link?

GPA needs to man up here. This is not over by a long shot. Disgraceful decision by the GAA keeping Allianz on board. Driven by £££

disgraceful but no surprise

I bet she had never heard of the GAA until a week ago.

But knows when a company is complicit in funding genocide...
