I like how they subtly throw shade at AU by emphasizing "REAL" pro volleyball lol honestly, I hate it. the "real pro volleyball" branding is tacky and only provides meaning to a small section of fans (Those that know AU/LOVB exist lol) trying to get a pro league going with social handles of 'realprovb' is weird and going to confuse fans when they try to find the socials of "Pro Volleyball Federation" (which dont get me started on that name lol)

Yes, the shade is real, but the marketing and branding are still not so hot.

They will eventually need to pivot.

He's made 3 political campaign donations, all to Republicans, one as recently as June. Lower profile than other family members, but it's also hard to say anything, it's super easy for him to donate through his family's PAC. People thought Kelly Loeffler was a super progressive Republican until she wasn't. If this were my local team, no way I would support it (I realize there's far more terrible owners than him in the sports world though)
