#KickOutEmirates campaign gives red card to Emirates sponsorship

An online campaign has been lunched on Monday under the hashtag “#KickOutEmirates” in protest against the Emirati sponsorship of English football teams.

The campaign is an offshoot of the Think Twice Campaign which highlighted Emirates Airline’s unsuitability as a sponsor to the UK book community.

Feedback to the Think Twice Campaign showed that Emirates’ acceptance by the English football community greatly contributed to the impression that Emirates were a respectable sponsor.

The campaign calls on ethical members of the English football community to challenge that acceptance and raise awareness of the human rights abuses carried out by Emirates’ and their owners.
