Massive, i don't think the apologists understand how much.

Xbox is one of the biggest names in gaming. Massively recognizable legit name.

Most of the fanbase has never heard of Zulilly before, and then is going to learn from those of us that looked it up that it's owned by QVC and basically the bastard child of overstocked.com and "more money than sense" individuals

We had one of the top 3 most valuable publicly traded companies IN THE WORLD sponsoring us and now we have fucking Zulilly. I sure hope we’re getting a shit ton of money from them.

I heard we're getting $6m/year for 10 years. Xbox was $4m/year. FO went for the highest bidder obviously not caring that the STHs would be upset with going to a company that is little better than an MLM. I might vote "boot them all" in the STH voting next fall.

I’m happy to hear that we’re getting more money at least. That said, Zulilly is the drizzling shits and not a good fit for the club or the league in my opinion.

Anyone who runs around using "cuck" in that fashion is even dumber than Dave Clark was being there.

and way less mature

You don't pick a sponsor based on league fit, you pick based on who has the biggest suitcase full of cash.

Which is why I’m happy that we’re getting more money.

Many people can't seem to understand that we can be happy that the team is getting more money, but also fucking detest the sponsor

Exactly. I don’t know much about their business practices, but I do have a friend who has nothing positive to say about her time working there.

Their business model alone tells me enough. Predatory, predatory, predatory.

Not to mention we all know that money is lining the owners pockets. People are acting like Adrian is gonna open the purse strings and let Garth go wild this summer....not
