I wish someone would refuse to wear the gambling company shirts as well.
The amount of money it costs to sponsor a massive team, there aren't THAT many companies that can afford it. Same for F1.It used to be tobacco companies. More recently it's going to be alcohol, gambling and pay day loans. One could argue these are all peddlers of misery preying on the weaker and poorer members of society.
This will partly be a function of having money to be able to spend, and I guess partly the target demographic of viewers.

Exactly, he's sponsored by Nike so he doesn't care about how they run sweatshops in the far east. Funny to see how Pogba removed a beer bottle, it was alcohol free! The stock value of Coke has nothing to do with this gesture if you look at the last years stock price.
Pogba is a devout muslim and despite them saying it's alcohol free, in reality it has a small amount of alcohol in.

25 people on PistonHeads are now thinking & talking about coca cola. A couple suggested a mildly negative connotation, vast majority havnt though....
I have an allergy that means I cannot drink Coca Cola so I'm pretty safe from their underhanded subliminal messaging.25 people on PistonHeads are now thinking & talking about coca cola. A couple suggested a mildly negative connotation, vast majority havnt though....

Coca Cola might end up selling less actual Coca Cola but they'll make it up with bottled water which probably has a higher margin

I don't like football and hold some disdain for footballers but I have a lot of respect for him after that.
Kudos for doing something positive to push health.
It looks like this might snow ball as someone else moved some Heineken bottles at their press conference.

Reminds me of this clip from Wayne's World making fun of product placement, which is very apt, first world problems and all that.

Trump could (and Musk can) do more to the markets with a tweet.
Pretty much this just noise. Investors get jittery that it will have a big affect and it doesn’t. By the end of the week that 1.5% will recover and no harm done. Coke won’t be loosing sleep over it he is hardly their target market. ).Trump could (and Musk can) do more to the markets with a tweet.
I think it will affect the product Coca Cola, but the reason that the share price only dropped a little, is that Coke Company is involved in a lot more than its core product. It sells all kinda stuff, and has the cash to aquire brands at will.

Yes they own various drink brands including Dasani water, so probably not that upset that Ronaldo encouraged people to drink water, and Costa coffee.I think it will affect the product Coca Cola, but the reason that the share price only dropped a little, is that Coke Company is involved in a lot more than its core product.
