Whatever else may come out of this, it shows IMO that Rinehart is an evil, vindictive cow. That $15M is chump change for her, and her bottom line would not be affected in the slightest by logo less jerseys. Just a bastard act.

Same disgraceful human wanted to sack all her workers, import migrant labour and pay them $2 an hour.
Probably happy to save the sponsorship money...

Rinehart pulled the sponsorship, isn't that what they wanted?

For the record, the company said they were happy to provide the money and never asked for a thankyou, never demanded the logo had to be worn. Its what happened since that pissed them off. They have made a statement as such. NA are a rablle, its unacceptable to treat sponsors (which are hard enough to get) like that.
As for comments her idiot father may have made, I dont think for a minute Hancock Co. or Gina R support or condone such views today. Lets move on. Or, do we we wipe her from the face of the Earth for those comments?

Firstly, we don't know what her opinion is. There's little in the public domain that suggests she is different from her old man.

Secondly, I see no reason why we need to invoke extreme rhetoric to make a point.

I assume when you say "we" you mean every and not just me? It seems to me the whole debate centers around extreme rhetoric.

My personal opinion is that people on the right politically take a cue from outlets like Fox and take things to an extreme, which I'm not sure is helpful. Nobody is suggesting that Rinehart be wiped from the earth for her old man's comments. You can't change the past. I suspect Wallam would have liked some dialogue, some acknowledgment from Rinehart about those comments, some give. Instead she got donuts.

IMO this was always going to be messy. As I stated earlier, sports are already in too deep, and the separation that needs to exist to allow Wallam's position to be effective and not suffer blowback no longer exists.

Paul the players went rogue, NA did SFA, here we are. Its poor leadership from NA that has caused this. I'm certain Wallam would have been given all the info she needed had proper professional courtesy had been followed. Its nothing to do with left, right, up down, its just common sense.

It does seem like amateur hour at NA, but I still think it's poor from Rinehart to simply leave them stranded like that. She could've and should've focussed on the higher ideal of doing what's best for Netball, the future of the sport etc. Instead.............
