So the Philadelphia Union, a pro soccer team signed a 4-year, $12 million sponsorship deal with a baker. The deal includes putting the company's name on all of their uniforms, clothing, etc. the only problem is the company's name is "Bimbo". So "fans" and other groups are up in arms over this. espn.go.com/espnw/blog/_/post/6012686/is-union-new-sponsorship-sexistnow, imagine if this was a women's team. What would the reaction be then? |

I'm pretty sure they have a deal with an international team as well because I've seen jerseys with that brand on it before.

For 12 mil I would rock a jersey with many things deemed wrong.
