With today's hot item being the astonishing $50 million dollar offer Citibank have put forward for the right to have thier name and logo on the front of the LA Galaxy kit, I'd like to take a little time to reiterate what a surreal time it is to be a fan of the American game.
Money is pouring in like rain to Wembley, and it's a very good thing; Uncle Phil & Uncle Lamar have taken the weight for waaay too long. But not everyone sees it this way, as the video below illustrates. The topic is old but the video is well done and still relevant; hopefully MLS will break new ground in the sponsorship game without it's players becoming walking NASCAR rides.
Shouts to EddieBa for the clip.

While the neccesity (esp. for the MLS) is without question, you just gotta love Barca's stance on not putting a corporate sponsor on their kit. Punk rock. Biatch.
True I can't hate on Barca for that, but the rent has to be paid. Period.
And I bet Barca buckles on that in the next 5 years. To stay competative on the transfer market they are going to need as much cash as they can get to compete with Chelsea, Milan, Real etc.
