Football shirt sponsorship deals with gambling firms may be under threat from an investigation into whether they encourage children to gamble.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6220242.stm

==============================

I don't see the harm in this as they are only logos, and kids can't gamble anyway as you need a credit card or debit card to gamble. I think its just people going over the top again.

Can't see anything wrong with it. like you said you need a card to gamble online, you need to be 16 to go into the fruit machines.

its a bit silly as its only a shirt sponser kids probably dont even know what it means. I didnt know 888 was a gambling firm when they were sponsering someon its boro isnt it.

I still dont have a clue what Pipex is the fulham sponser. So i dont see how a shirt sponser can be that much of a threat.

If any kids want to gamble then let them spend a night at the Stanley Casino in Liverpool.

Most depressing place I've ever been to.
