Holden is reviewing its sponsorship of the Collingwood Football Club after Eddie McGuire's remarks about Caroline Wilson.

The car manufacturer released a statement on Monday night condemning McGuire's comments.

"Holden categorically disapproves of Eddie McGuire's inappropriate comments, along with those of his co-hosts," the statement read.

"Holden prides itself on diversity, inclusion and social responsibility - they are cornerstones of our business.

"Comments like these, regardless of their intent, have no place in today's Australia and reflect poorly on the Collingwood Football Club, it's fans, stakeholders and sponsors. Unfortunately, it can call into question the culture of the club, overshadowing good work done in the diversity space and local communities.

"Holden is engaging with Collingwood to directly express our disappointment and discuss the future of our sponsorship."

 

 

Holden is one of the major sponsors of the Magpies, and is the naming rights of it's training base, the Holden Centre.

The manufacturer signed a five year deal with the club just last year, contributing a reported $3 million to the club annually.

  1. I Really think its time for BOTH EDDIE & BUCKLEY to go !!!!! The stuff up with Malthouse, the List, the culture & the results over the past few years are all heading in the WRONG DIRECTION !!!!!! I dont think Buckley is a good MAN MANAGER & i dont think the players really play for him !!!!!! Iam a Port Adelaide supporter just voicing an opinion !!!!!

  3. What this all tells me is Caroline likes Tony Shaw & Hates Eddie & James !!!!! They hav had running battles in the Media 4 years !!!!! Its a POWER BATTLE !!!!!

  4. OH PLEASE.get a grip people.
    Her own fellow commentator’s said a lot worse about her on 3AW,are they currently getting dragged thru the media? NO ,and why is this being dragged out by the media??because it’s a slow news week and Eddie sells papers!!
