I agree, but perceptions are funny. Easternhealth re branded during the pandemic. It came across as tone deaf and a waste of money and time when we should have been focussing on other issues.
In reality what you say applied but it served only to alienate people further at the time.
We haven't been travelling well on the park for quite some time now and the perception amongst fans is that the social commentary our club pours any energy into is wasted when we haven't put the requisite energy into making our footy club better.
Whether or not that perception is accurate is another matter.
Largely I saw it, didn't read it, got annoyed and still haven't read it and have already dismissed it as ultimately what the club states is irrelevant to me.

When the club can demonstrate competence in its core business, i.e. football, then maybe we may listen to its views on other matters.
Reality always wins in the end.

Remember how the club got bashed around for not making a strong enough statement about diversity etc....kicking the CFC in the guts when they're down is the country's most popular participation sport ATM. The club can't win on any front right now.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Footy clubs don't exist in a vacuum.
