Mercedes sold 102,757 cars in the UK last year
Around 5,400 of those customers were stalked in the same period
Yet @MercedesBenzUK continues to sponsor @RandA who back a court-confirmed stalker to lead a UK golf club
Luxury doesn’t mean silence
Not when stalking is the issue
@ROLEX — you’ve covered every second of @TheOpen.
But not a word about the fact @RandA CEO backed a court-confirmed stalker to lead a golf club.
Timeless watches.
Timid silence.
You don’t just sponsor golf.
You sponsor its shame.
Out of 278,000 fans at @TheOpen, around 40,000 have experienced stalking
And yet the CEO of @RandA is fine with a stalker leading a UK golf club.
He knew. He did nothing.
What message does that send to victims in the crowd — victims who are also @MastercardUK customers?
An estimated 8,340 people in the @TheOpen crowd have been stalked this year.
Mark Darbon, CEO of @RandA, let a court-confirmed stalker captain a golf club.
This isn’t old news. It’s happening now.
And they did nothing.
“Respect in Golf”? Just a slogan, right @golfmagic?
There are tens of thousands of stalking victims at @TheOpen.
But only one institution on site seems totally fine with it:
@RandA
They didn’t just ignore stalking. They endorsed it.
Looks like you do too, @NTT_DATA_UK
Imagine being a stalking survivor at @TheOpen — and seeing your sport protect a stalker.
That’s what Mark Darbon did.
That’s what @RandA approved.
That’s what sponsors bankroll.
That’s reputation over risk.
And @TitleistEurope seem fine with that.
About 8,000 fans watching your brand this week have been stalked this year.
The man you dressed at @RandA press conference protects a stalker.
Plenty of stalking victims wear BOSS.
They deserve answers.
@HUGOBOSS — do you stand with victims, or with silence?
Women make up a growing part of golf’s audience
1 in 5 women will be stalked in their lifetime
But the @RandA gave a stalker a badge of honour
@TheOpen isn’t safe ground until that’s addressed
You’ve been very quiet on this @AIGinsurance
Does money mean more than morals?
Astronomer’s CEO hugged someone at Coldplay and went viral
@RandA CEO backed a stalker—and no one batted an eyelid
One governs data The other governs 43 million golfers
1,152 fans at @TheOpen today were stalked this past year
The wrong CEO went viral
@MastercardUK@skysportsgolf
Hey @Chris_Boardman
You chair @SportEngland — £200m a year to “empower communities.”
So tell us:
Was making a court-confirmed stalker a golf club captain your idea of empowerment?
Because this isn’t leadership.
It’s complicity.
And your silence is part of it.
If you’re interviewing the CEO of @RandA at @TheOpen this week, ask him this:
Why does he have no issue with a court-proven stalker being made captain of a golf club?
43 million golfers deserve an answer.
So does the rest of the world. #TheOpen

@GolfMagic You run campaigns about Respect in Golf yet when a court-confirmed stalker was made captain of top UK club you said nothing
