International Olympic Committee

FIFA has rented an office that’s empty in Trump Tower since his first term.

I saw that Sofi Stadium stadium is now called Los Angeles stadium temporarily

or it’s been Met Life for so long it’s just impulse for him to say.

Vancouver gets a pass because it’s publicly owned. Mercedes in Atlanta gets a pass even though there was an idea to take or cover up the logo outside. Seriously.

our football stadium, Arrowhead, is now Kansas City stadium 🙄. Regarding the condiments, I wonder what FIFA would have done if the stadiums had refused to tape over the brand name of said condiments, and I mean once the teams had already arrived here in the US. It’s absolutely ridiculous that they had to do this.

Shameful they have not changed it all, and also banned that tomahawk chop bollocks (same for the Atlanta baseball team on both things as well). Native Americans should never be used as mascots.

Of course FIFA and the IOC make other people print money for them.

I've donned a few 'win, place or show' competitive medals, and they're not made out of bottle caps and cheap ribbon.

What a stupid bunch of pricks.

Since the BBC is not allowed to advertise in the UK, they used to be extremely strict about not showing brand names. So, in the 70s, the children's programme 'Blue Peter' would show you how to make things at home out of things like cereal packets and condiment bottles - but they had to have tape on for TV. And while the whole country referred to 'sellotape' for what you used to stick things together, that was a trademark, so they had to say "sticky tape", although no-one else did. Eventually they got more relaxed about it.

In the UK, we've had "Estadio Azteca" or "Aztec Stadium" (didn't realise that is a brand name), but "New York New Jersey Stadium" (which is actually more informative to us - "MetLife Stadium" would mean nothing to 95%).
