		<description>On some level I agree, but on the other hand it DOES help the local community if money goes into sport from big sponsors. 

Any company willing to sponsor my team email me at iamcyrus AT mweb.co.za</description>

		<description>Companies will do well to realise that “brand awareness” can lead to “brand resentment”, and I for one totally boycott Vodacom, despite MTN’s pathetic attempt at cellular communications simply for this reason.  (Besides, I’m a Lions supporter, why would I support another team’s sponsor?)

But the flipside is also true – in the USA, some brands have become synonymous with the stadium.  Safeco Field, Wrigley field, Miller Park… 

Ellis Park was the last straw.  Coke, how could you?  Sis man!  Is nothing sacred anymore?  William Webb Ellis must be turning in his grave.</description>
