Makes sense, Gummit Motors sponsoring a commie sport. Must be nice not to have to pay taxes.

Pray for America

Commie sport? I genuinely laughed out loud at that! :)

It’s a bit of a stretch to call a football club that turns over 75m and clears 30m in profit communist! And those figures are in pounds, which are signifcantly more valuable than dollars! :D

On a more serious point though, how do they get away with it? If they were 100% privately funded and profitable I could understand it, but haven’t they been bailed out?

The other odd thing is that the main GM brand in the UK is Vauxhall, Chevrolet being the cheap ‘n cheerful brand so this sponsorship is competing with itself really.

How is soccer communist?.

In soccer, the biggest teams get the most fans, make the most money, buy the best players and win the most trophies. Those who struggle get smaller or go bust.

Pure capitalism.

It is AMERICAN/Canadian sport that is socialist. Your sports are set up so no one franchise can dominate. The draft system. All equal, hmmm, whats does that remind you of?.

Its American sport thats ‘communist’.
