The Indiana Pacers recently announced their sponsorship agreement with Motorola, joining the many NBA teams that now sport the jersey patches of the corporate partners. Other than the traditionalist’s argument over what should and shouldn’t be on a sports jersey, there wasn’t too much chatter among fans.
Well, except for a few Motorola Razr jokes and comments the company is irrelevant — despite the fact their stock continues an upward trend since 2009 — there is hardly any real controversy about the sponsorship or the jersey patch. Right?
Wrong. Very wrong.
