If Corporate Sponsorships in Sports Upset You, You Will Enjoy This Snippet
This is from an article on Grantland.com from Justin Halpern, the author of "Shit My Dad Says". It's about his days in Little League:
...two adjacent baseball fields were about a mile from my house, and twice a week my team, the San Diego Credit Union Padres, would gather there to practice.
"You should just be called the Padres, not all that bullshit about credit unions," my dad said, as he drove me to the field on the opening day of the season when I was eleven years old.
"But the credit union pays for us to have a team," I said.
"Yeah, well, I pay for you to do everything, and you don't see me making you wear a shirt with my giant goddamned face on it."
