Message: [QUOTE="Fitzy, post: 3612418, member: 9881"] No cause personally I don’t give a **** what it looks like. But I’m also not the one standing here expecting the worst from my own club for something they have never even remotely indicated doing before. Just don’t buy it if you reserve your doubts. You don’t slander the club and make up bullshit that is completely contradicted by all there dealings in similar spaces in the past. Could have ascertained in 30 seconds that the outcome was likely something very different. Like I said I’m no charity buff I rarely ever read any of the media and press releases on the stuff we do in the community and if I do I glance it at best. Yet I’m still very aware of how this benefits more than just themselves even if they were to take all the profits like he suggested. Far more is gotten out of this one off jersey than an 8 game retro jersey or a magic round jersey or a city jersey etc yet they don’t cop shit when they decide to make one of them. Not holding anything against Ning like I said I’m not remotely a charity or community buff I do the bare minimum in that space it’s no look at me bullshit. But I’ve also been a broncos fan long enough to know that when it comes to philanthropic work without the information accessible of what they intend to do around it this year they deserve the respect and acknowledgment for the work they do without calling into question their motives or people associated with the ANZAC cause will benefit. They have done plenty in previous years to suggest that this is not the motive at all behind it. Rather it’s a celebratory act that benefits the wider community. Until someone in the know or there is something to suggest otherwise you take it on face value and the evidence suggests at face value that there will be heaps of benefits both tangible and intangible for armed forces and Anzac organisations. To dispute that is crazy. I don’t disagree with his notion at all, I agree jerseys are steep and I don’t think organisations should use ANZAC as a profiteering scheme. My issue is the “probably **** all”. Like I said I’m no charity buff or community workaholic I’m just defending and to a certain degree educating that the Broncos deserve a lot more credit for the way they operate in that space than the typical old scummy corporates only care about profit narrative. A magic round jersey would have been more profitable and yet they are doing work in this space like they will again for the indigenous jersey no doubt. Credit is due where credit is due. I’m not saying everyone needs to put in a weekly gratitude for Broncos community work, I definitely won’t be. This is my biggest devotion towards charity in my life, the 1000 words I have written on it. All I’m saying is give the club a bit of credit. They have at the very least earned the right to not have their integrity called into question in areas such as communal and philanthropic areas. Go fucken ape shit at any other area of the broncos operations for all I care but a lot of good comes from there work for more than just themselves and more than just even charities and that needs to be recognised rather than ignorantly criticised.
