Because you pick the fights you can win?

You pick the battles that have more tangible impact?

- You cant wear a stand. You can wear a shirt.

- Its banned (I think?) for children's shirts so my kids cant wear a proper replica that matches our proper one.

- People are exposed to shirt logos across far more media than a stand (magazines, kids stickers, goal clips)

Personally I see gambling as worse than alcohol but they are both destructive things that should have no place in shirt sponsorship (or stand sponsorship). Betting is the easier one to tackle first.
