Weird sponsors. Does Kensell even bother checking?

[ChuckNor]

I was made aware of Grilla Energy, a relatively unknown energy drink brand that also sponsors Hibs. I had a look on the companies house to see who the directors were and came across John Smith-Howell. He was also a director of 7am Esports. A quick Google search brought up that someone of the same name and a director of that esports club made offensive comments about Pride.

Does Ben Kensell even check who he is doing deals with? We have previous.

That’s correct. We’ve had multiple companies I’ve never heard of sponsor us. Even our main sponsor seems an odd one. Can’t imagine there is much demand for an application that tells you about a whisky by scanning the label, especially when the information is already there.

I noticed at the Scotland Womens game last month that the betting company that appears below the big screens (Quinnbet I think) was covered over. Assumed it was against UEFA rules or something but then I noticed other bookies were being advertised elsewhere. Wonder if there was something specifically about Quinnbet that the SFA didn't approve of.

I would guess because it wasn’t an official Scotland sponsor

The advertising of SBK (also a bookie) that's normally there at Hibs games wasn't covered over. SBK doesn't seem to be an official Scotland sponsor.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

How far do you go with background checks?

Well have policies around, inclusivity, equality, possibly paying a fair wage?, anti-money laundering, anti slavery etc.

yet these are just policies. They don’t necessarily have checks and balances to monitor.

so you’d assume that background checks for example are conducted by other organisations I think it’s a tough on to fully police all it can take is someone to sub to another who may sub for example and you’ve got people who are underpaid for example.

if the guy got sacked surely the company did the right thing?

Sportemongo was a disaster from the start and I was quite vocal at the start of it warning people of it, too many saw it as an equivalent to something like Ultimate Team or PokemonGo where it was just a digital version of collecting panini stickers for kids which was predatory and could have cost people money on a product that basically didn't exist. Whoever was part of that deal should have been sacked for it alone.

Hibs are a sports club - I think they should be promoting health and fitness - not "bevvy". Some people on this forum don't seem to like the players drinking due to fitness concerns - I'd have thought the health of the supporters would be just as important.

I wouldn't be promoting alcohol, cigarettes, fast food or gambling, but it's easy to take the moral high ground when it's not my responsibility - got to get the cash to keep attracting high quality players I suppose.

[Stairway 2 7]

I want the highest paying sponsor as long as it's not something illegal or helping genocide etc. The list of approved firms would be hilarious if some on this board were in charge, 10k per year from Seafield cat and dog home.

As for players drinking as long as its not before a game we have to be realistic, if man city paying 300k a week can't demand abstinence we certainly can't. I'm glad Mcginn, Boyle and Cummings got pished for 3 days after winning the Scottish

The only Hibs strip I've ever owned had Bukta on the front!

As I say, it's easy to critisise from the outside - but high profile football clubs could be a big help in promoting the health and fitness message - if the country was serious about the issue.

But they do need to get real - alcohol, fast food and gambling sponsors will go the way of cigarettes one day - the clubs will need to find someone to replace them.

Or maybe football will go back to the pre-shirt sponsorhip days - it seemed to do pretty well back then.

Youve obviously never lived with an alcoholic who was always looking for their next bevvy and the lies and life that goes with it for everyone around them. I've not bought the strip because theres no way I could ever wear something promoting a lifestyle that destroys so many. I've no problems with others wearing it, I'm disappointed in Hibs but all it's done is save me money in the long run.

I have actually, but I know that they need professional help and the sponsor on a Hibs top isn’t going to make a tiny bit of difference to that.

We're not just talking about Hibs sponsors though. It's a wide scale problem. People are bombarded with sponsors and advertisements promoting alcohol, gambling and fast food from a very young age when their minds are still in development. Let's not pretend that the chronic health issues that plague our country are not significantly influenced by these factors. If they weren't, companies wouldn't be piling millions into sponsorships and advertisements every year. They pray on vulnerable people who are predisposed to addictive tendencies.

I think that's an unfair thing to say to people. I've had family members pass to alcohol abuse, I know some friends who have lost 10s of thousands on through gambling and I've bought kits with drink and betting sponsors.

Would I prefer we all did a charitable donation sponsor or promote a local company? Of course, but the reality of it is that these types of sponsors pay the most at the moment. I can imagine to start turning some of these companies down for someone like McEwan Fraser again would be quite a drop in income in comparison. Maybe one day we'll be able to be selective over a sponsor for the difference of a couple hundred grand (pure guesswork) but I don't think we're at that point sadly.

I've no problems with others wearing it, I'm disappointed in Hibs but all it's done is save me money in the long run.I have and had an absolute brutal childhood where I was physically and verbally abused from a child until I was 15, however I never hated alcohol or the havoc it caused in my household.

With regards football and hibs sponsors I isolated the two components, hibs gave me a release from the abuse, what they had on their strips mattered not a jot to my personal feelings. What my Dad did to me was a completely different matter and I never joined the dots there, there was no connection for me.

The same can be said about the gambling sponsors, I never gambled other than the occasional fixed odds pre match but I was never tempted to bet on horses, puggies or the likes.

[Mcbizz1998]

No quotes about what was apparently said about the sanctified ‘Pride’.

Of all the things to have a go at BK about, this could be bottom of the list.

[Jay]

Rather than multi quote I'll try to answer in one as best as I can. I did buy marathon bet, don't see the connection, I also bought when it was alcohol sponsors. My personal issue is promoting the bevvy culture , not a drink. Maybe nowadays it would be called a trigger word but I'm not comfortable promoting a culture I lived in hell with as do others. Looking for their next bevvy , going on the bevvy isn't the same as having a beer. Like I said it's a very personal thing, I have no issue whatsoever with others wearing it but I find it disappointing and wont be. And again, I know it's a website but to many it's much more than that.

I can understand your issue with the word Bevvy. I think if I was making a company I would probably have chosen a better word than that to represent what me and my company were about, especially if it was to be for collectors and connoisseurs of whisky and present myself as a bit more of a hobby/education app. But I just don't really think it's worth holding Hibs or Ben Kensell's feet to the fire for having it on the jersey.

For what it's worth I would probably like to see the governing bodies enforce the change on Gambling/Drinking sponsors rather than force clubs into having to do it to keep up financially with each other.

I never drank Whyte and Mackay, never had Crabbies, never redeemed a nordvpn or manscaped offer sent from the club. It makes me wonder if it’s ever worth it for these brands. Won’t complain like as I’m happy for Hibs to get their coin (for the most part) but I’d be amazed if the watch brand that does our goal of the month stuff has made any real sales off the back of it.
