Depends on how much "BS" the members shout at the club. Evil flourishes when good men do nothing.

And that differs to mining how exactly?
I am not sure there is a material mined that isn't a fossil fuel.

What misinformation do Woodside promote?

Calling climate change a social issue is incorrect.From yesterday:
Alcock responds to open letter
Fremantle President Dale Alcock has responded to an open letter sent to the club on Wednesday regarding the club’s Woodside partnership.www.fremantlefc.com.au
Fremantle President Dale Alcock has responded to an open letter sent to the club on Wednesday regarding the club’s Woodside partnership.
“I, on behalf of Fremantle Football Club, acknowledge that climate change and sustainability are key social issues,” Alcock told Radio 6PR.
“The issue is complex – it’s an important one – but it’s complex.
“The duty of our Board is to listen, to maintain balance, give things due consideration, not be reactive and then make the best decisions for our club.
“That’s the important role we’ve got to play here.
“We are respectful of the point of view of others – not just on this subject - but there’s a lot of issues that are impacting sport.”
Woodside joined Fremantle as a major sponsor in 2010 and the current partnership extends to the end of 2023.
“There’s obligations to abide by that contract and that’s what we’ll be doing,” Alcock said.
“With any contract, both parties will sit down and review it as it advances towards its conclusion.”
Alcock says Woodside is invested in many of Fremantle’s community programs and continues to work closely with Board and management on the club’s Reconciliation Action Plan.
“We can go straight to logos on jumpers, but there’s community programs that are deeply embedded in the WA community and the progress of our RAP plan at Fremantle we’ve worked on with Woodside,” Alcock told 6PR.
“If you look at community sport – all the way through to the elite level – you need corporate support, you need sponsorship.
“In Western Australia we don’t have too many (corporations) that are headquartered in Perth - and many of those that are in WA are resource related.
“Clearly half of our economy in Western Australia is resource related. It’s hard to avoid having relationships with resource companies and those resource companies are large employers – and large supporters – of our community.
“That is something we cannot disconnect from in Western Australia.”

Go woke, go broke. Go get your 5th booster, how did all that crap work out for you? Conned. Just another scam the climate cult. Let's build heaps of desalination plants, it'll never rain again, wake up sheeple.
Carmen "I can't recall Lawrence" Haha. Go hide somewhere Carmen on your taxpayer funded bloated super,
I love fossil fuels.

Expensive? Haha, come back and talk about expensive in 5 years time when we're running on windmills.
It's probably more historical and/or via industry bodies (who provide more diffused culpability), but that's still relevant as there's evidence of companies being aware of the overwhelming scientific case and promoting their own response to climate crisis at the time.
Here's one example directly involving Woodside....climate denial still features in fossil fuel funded education materials
We weren't talking about where they came from... I was responding to a statement that all this had nothing to do with mining. Your answer doesn't speak to that question.
Iron ore, lithium, gold, copper etc are not fossil fuels...
Probably be more solar than windmill tbh...

I mean, you do you, but threatening to leave the club over a sponsor change seems at least as looney to me as anything the original protestors are doing.

Isn’t that a win-win? Get the jumper you want and also boycott the clubs merchandise department?

Should be pretty easy for them to replace that $15,000,000 with a replacement that aligns with the players morals?
Well they are only 7 million in debt..
Their net zero targets are a farce. About 80% of carbon credits issued by Australia's clean energy regulator are flawed - they won't reduce the nation's carbon burden at all, and plenty will actually increase it.
On top of that their targets are only related to their operations and not the total scope of carbon emissions from the fossil fuels they produce (ie scope 3 emissions). They are also based on earlier estimations of their emissions that are likely to be less than half given the merger with BHP Petroleum.
I'm not anti-O&G but if companies are going to lie and mislead about their environmental impact then they need to be called out. Woodside has and will continue to leave a massive impact on our environment. I don't think people truly understand the scope of their impact. Pressuring to come clean and be more green shouldn't be disregarded through fear campaigns about job losses, weakened economy etc. t is possible to get a better balance and that starts with calling out their BS imo.
Lithium parts are recyclable. Nickel parts aren’t and Nickel processing and refining is just as bad as Lithium. And there’s lot more Nickel (or cobalt or manganese) in lithium batteries than actual lithium.
Not really. I love the club and want them to prosper. I just, for very very personal reasons, don't want any merchandise with that corporation's name on it. I want the club to get the money.

Those same morals include snorting
I guess they are fine with drug cartel operations, drug wars and family being ripped apart.
But not a sponsor who mines in Australia. The same country they live in that has wealth and prosperity.
**** their pseudo morals
