I don't understand (Ok, I do understand and the answer is money) how professional anythings are allowed to have sponsors. I'm not talking about all the stickers of Tony the Tiger or whatever lame crap lame car drivers plaster over their cars for NASCAR races. I'm talking about, for example, how the Chicago Cubs are allowed to have an Official Carpet. It happens to be Empire; I remember the phone number from when I was a kid. 588-2300-EMPIRE. Yeah yeah.
What do you get as the Official Carpet of the Chicago Cubs? Collectible urine stains in the corner? God knows it's never going to have any sort of celebratory beverage spilled onto it. And if that were to happy how pissed would be people be that Stainguard was there to prevent the winning carpet saturation?
I'd like to be Official Coffee of the Chicago Cubs. Who drinks coffee at baseball games you ask--no one. But no one is standing on carpet either.
