The only point of going to MLB games live is to get absolutely shitfaced and dunk on fans of the opposing team.

I remember going to a jays game in seattle with my grandfather and my cousin right when I was 19 or something and these two mariners fans made my cousin start crying when a pinch hitter won the game for them. I became a fan of baseball that day.

Baseball is really fun to play but intolerable to watch. Soccer is the opposite. Football is neither. Racing is both.

Hockey is cool too actually.

I'd like to watch soccer, but my local club is the Chicago Fire MLS team and lol at following them.

I've watched a couple Indy Eleven matches and they were ok.

I will always respect the Fire because MLS and Nike tried to call the team Chicago Rhythm, with a yellow and blue cobra logo, and the owners were like "lol gently caress no."

Your friend wicka would like to report that McLaren has removed Johnnie Walker (duh), Santander (duh), Castrol (basically confirms Petrobras), and Michael Kors from their sponsors page. The last one is a bit odd, because it only lasted like two years, but I really doubt non-athletic clothing companies get value from sponsoring F1.

High-end clothing companies actually seem like a natural fit for F1 advertising, would fit in with all the watch companies sponsoring teams.

Good point, since McLaren are currently a toilet garbage diaper team for losers nobody will want to sponsor them. At least nobody high-end. Maybe Zak can get TJ Maxx to sign on.

TJ Maxx wouldn’t sign for McLaren in their current state, they’d want a more cluttered car.

I loved Michael Andretti bringing K-Mart sponsorship to McLaren, though to be fair that was just before K-Mart had started their campaign to remodel all their stores into third world warzones.

They were always pretty low-rent (Walmart like) even in their heyday. I can't imagine how bad the stores are now.
