Lauren Pelati: “I don't think it should be banned. Just like any other business, they need to advertise.”

Kevin Pelati: “It shouldn’t be banned, because it is advertising and the company which is advertising will benefit.”

Pertunia Sithole: “It sends mixed messages because, for one, a person might think that drinking alcohol is what it takes to become a successful sports player.”

Gontse Masuku: “It should be banned because it sends a negative message to our youth as they are the ones who usually watch these games.”

Emmanuel Mashwe: “I don’t think so, because it is business and if they stop advertising, they will lose money.”

Elzann Rossouw: “I think they should ban it because there’s a high increase of underage children who are abusing alcohol.”

Cornè Roux: “They should stop advertising. The problem is the misuse of alcohol because these days alcohol has a high negative impact within households.”

Tshepo Molefe: “There’s no football without fun. In other words, alcohol is fun. However, it still doesn’t mean that a person should get drunk just because of the sport.”
