Sheffield Wednesday: Kick gambling ads out of football!

I want Sheffield Wednesday FC to cancel all existing partnerships with gambling companies, to reject future partnerships, and to back The Big Step campaign.

Why is this important?

Gambling with Lives want to end gambling sponsorship in sport but particularly football.

Our son Lewis was a lifelong Owl and his ashes are all around his favourite ground Hillsborough. He took his own life at the age of 34 as a direct result of his gambling addiction.

We implore his club and all the rest of the football community to realise what these gambling company vultures are doing to vulnerable sports fans across the UK and demand an immediate ban of all gambling advertising across ‘the beautiful game’….

Not one more person should suffer the pain his family and all his friends experienced as a result of his illness….

Because gambling companies prey on the most vulnerable, invading their lives by way of mobile devices, offering them more and more ways to increase the addiction dependency and driving them further and further into despair…

Gambling advertising must STOP now!!!!!
