Suits hugely out of touch with the grassroots, what's new.

It is no surprise that the Allianz protesters were from Tyrone. Tyrone and Armagh are full of social justice warriors.
I bet they have no problem drinking Guinness even though the Guinness family funded the UVF in the 1910's.

It's not the grass roots though. It's the Armagh18 roots. It's a very vocal 5% on twitter yelling outrage each other all the live long day. The vast majority of people do not care. Most probably have no idea of the nuances of how Allianz is structured or what the issue even is. Otherwise you would be hearing about it alot more.

Look at this thread sure, it's the same 3 or 4 people posting over and over and over again.

A recent example of the demonstration before the 1st All Ireland Semi final. There were only a handful of protesters. As ive said before, you could find something on every large company whether its right or wrong to take sponsorship from them.
