Cricket scandal fallout continues as LG discontinues Dave Warner sponsorship
Consumer electronics brand LG has confirmed it will not be renewing its sponsorship of the Australian cricket team’s vice captain, Dave Warner, as the fallout from last weekend’s ball tampering scandal grows.
In a media statement, an LG spokesperson said the brand had decided not renew its sponsorship of the award-winning player saying ” LG Australia will always look to work with ambassadors that share our core brand values.”
Trial by media, and trail by public outrage. The same public who can’t understand why the game takes 5 days.
Ridiculous
LG OLED TVs deliver richer colours so you can see the sandpaper and cheating more clearly.
Ironic.
@John
Warner is a senior member of the team. It has been confirmed that he, along with captain Smith were aware of the plan to have Bancroft use sandpaper to alter the ball.
I adore test match cricket. I watch on the box and I attend matches when I am able to do so. I am a cricket purest, so to speak. We must not condone cheating. Cheating has happened and LG are right to pull their sponsorship – they are a credible brand for doing so.
So it’s true what they say, denial IS the first stage of grief…
