I really hope they can work this out, netball needs these funds.

Agree with previous comments, yes itll be a work through but is achievable and to have them sit down and talk through it all, and not this ‘he said she said’ social media to and fro.

Said before that it could be as easy as Wallam not wearing the logo but also i said before then it would be hypocritical for her to take her wage made from Diamonds commitments because that money will come from Hancock.

It also showing that Gina is miles away from what Lang was in regards to certain issues. She could simply withdraw her sponsership deal and walk away from the issue.

It’s starting to look obvious that NA didn’t do their full due diligence here otherwise they would have (and should have) picked up that there was going to be an issue…. or maybe that’s why they kept it quiet from the players until it was done

There’s an article in The Australian with quotes from Liz Watson’s interview with the ABC Breakfast this (Tuesday) morning. Far more detail than the WWOS or even the written ABC article. Does anyone know of how anyone could listen to the entire transcript?

EDIT: I think I’ve found it, now to listen through 3 hours to find the right stuff!

So comments made by old man Hancock in 1984 are the reason for all this shmozzle. He’s been dead for 30 years, and Gina the daughter has to live with the stigma 38 years later.

Look I get it netball Australia doesn’t want to look racist, especially after the Mimi debacle.
They need to put feelings aside, this is a business after all and they need funding otherwise they can say goodbye to netball in Australia.
Comments made over 40 years ago shouldn’t, affect this deal what’s so ever. We need the funding!! Why is ur netball has to kick a fuss and the other sports Gina has sponsored don’t.

Just imagine kfc offered netball Australia a 50 million dollar deal, would we not take it because Colonel Sanders was a racist? Lol
The past is the past, people learn and evolve. NA take the money so we can grow our sport for years to come.
