but this is definitely officially licensed and some of the profits i am sure go to the lady's preservation. it might be ugly and in bad taste, but the all-star game is in NYC this year.
all these sports are massive whores to the almighty dollar and this is just another drop in the bucket. and until we stop going to the games or buying this crap, it will not change. it will get worse.
I agree with at least this part of your post. (And the All-Star Game being in New York city, the capital of graffiti is hardly an excuse. ;-)
