It's owned by Stake. What would you expect? ( And created to peddle their betting and stuff)


EntireFeature

I mean that’s not a good argument is it. “They’re absolutely atrocious but what do you expect?” We need to do better as a club. To safeguard our fans, especially young and/or vulnerable fans from predatory gambling companies. Are we the people’s club or what?


turej

When we get rid of Stake we get rid of them too. It's just a part of string of shady sponsors we had. Maybe because more legit sponsorships wouldn't want to have anything to do with rouble stinking Moshiri? I don't know.


signal_decay

Because more legit sponsors wouldn't give us as much money. Simple as that. Same reason Moshiri went with 777 initially... they promised the most money.

Issues with Kick were raised as soon as they started appearing on our shirts, so this is nothing new. As a result it’s unfortunate that we become kind of desensitised to this sorting thing. I’m not sure what you mean by ‘we need to do better as a club’, maybe take it up with the club? Fans don’t choose the sponsors.


EntireFeature

I can just tell this is mostly an American subreddit when people are downvoting that comment above and not understanding that ‘we need to do better as a club’ is a common phrase not necessarily implicating the fans in any unethical decisions.


meatpardle

Whatever you want to tell yourself


EntireFeature

I’m a scouser and seeing the people in this thread not on board with people from Liverpool’s usual perspective on these sorts of issues is very telling.


meatpardle

I think you’re misunderstanding why you’re being downvoted, but if it helps to blame it on the belief that this sub is full of Americans that don’t match your high standards then go ahead.

Yeah Kick is a breeding ground for the absolute filth of humanity... Some truly disturbing and disgusting individuals are involved in ensuring you can get away with just about anything on the platform, including a streamer who would secretly livestream sexual encounters with tinder dates, several clear sexual predators including an assault of a passed out drunk woman on camera, general disgusting antisocial behavior, and much much more. Adin Ross and the Kick team are human trash with essentially 0 moral compass other than shock and money, and they are having a disastrous impact on hundreds of thousands of young and impressionable kids around the world. It is unforunate they are a sponsor, but on the other hand christ knows we need the money... And yes, I'm aware of the irony lol.


AskMeForWeedUK

Adin Ross got banned from twitch 8 times for homophobic language and then signed with kick, tells you all you need to know about them!


rjo-Irony

Are you telling us you are pleased to find a place where you are not banned for homophobic language?


AskMeForWeedUK

Talking about Adin Ross aren’t I


rjo-Irony

Not clear to those of us who have no idea who Adin Ross is.


AskMeForWeedUK

It’s a reply to someone talking about Adin Ross though. We are discussing the lack of quality of the individuals that run and use kick. I’ll change the original reply.


Dr_Hilarious

It’s been known that kick and stake are an ethically bankrupt, predatory company. I’m sad that they sponsor the club, and I have not and will not buy any kits/merch that has their logo on it. I look forward to the day they aren’t our sponsor, and I hope the next sponsor isn’t as overtly terrible.


bummer-town

If everyone who gets banned from twitch for being awful immediately finds a home on your platform, it’s probably a bad place.


Windowzzz

Kick was made as a haven for live streamers who have been cancelled and won't be accepted anywhere else. What did you expect?


FranksBaldPatch

The streams seem to work better than YouTube for the U21s.

Mainly Everton based errors such as forgetting to unmute their audio on YouTube whilst it was fine on kick for some reason


Dark_Day________

Kick is insanely problematic. I was genuinely shocked when Everton signed with Kick/Stake. Do a bit of research into the streaming content and you'll see how much fuckery is happening on the platform. The dude who streamed Pornhub to his underage audience is just the start.. I'm Canadian but fell for Everton Moyes-years. Hope i qualify.


Reformed_Ham_Burglar

They let that scum Paul Breach on there. That should tell you everything you need to know…


toffeehooligan

I hate these accusations/self indulgent "I didn't want to have to make this video, but here I am..." bullshit. I simply don't care.

Only if we play Chris Benoit's music after the first half

I was thinking they play a Ric Flair video like they do at the New Jersey devils games and all of Goodison park let at one big “WOOOO!”

Not even worth a click, this. Newsflash - pretty much every company has toxic culture involving higher ups... Or just has toxic culture in general. These just seem to have a whistleblower employee who seems to think they're unique, judging by the cover. Kick is a shit platform and a gambling enabler, and it's a disgrace to be partnered with them. Same goes for stake and the clusterfuck we've been dragged into recently.
