Is Oasis Group Holdings renewing a commitment to oppose gender equality?

Opinion/Questions
Oasis Group Holding renewed their sponsorship to the Blue Bulls rugby union.

It is a well known fact that the Blue Bulls rugby union have no strategic plan for the development of women's rugby. Added to this, the Blue Bulls rugby union have reduced the budget for the women's team consistently over the past few years. At the same time the Blue Bulls Rugby Union is also the only union that does not give their players any form of match fee or assistance for transport money. Women's players in the union have to pay to play.

Blue Bulls Company’s CEO, Barend van Graan, welcomed the sponsorship and agreed that shared values made the decision an easy one.

Exactly what is meant with "shared values"? Does it mean that just like the Blue Bulls rugby union, Oasis also don't care in the least about the sportswomen with a passion for rugby?

And as these sponsors also support the Blue Bulls, it stands to reason that they are also supporting the marginalisation of women and oppose gender equality.
