abc.net.au/news/sports-gambling-sponsorship-aussie-rules-easton-wood-interview/102046922Former AFL player Easton Wood has thrown his support behind an opt-out clause that gives players the power to refuse to participate in gambling advertising.
A number of current AFL players have chosen to opt out of having their image used in AFL-authorised promotional material for major sponsor SportsBet. Wood, the former Western Bulldogs premiership captain, spoke out against the prevalence of gambling advertising during his playing career, before he retired from the game in 2021."They're seamlessly integrated into the broadcast — every break, there's advertising on the TV, and there's advertising around the stadium," he said.
