Back in November, I wondered who would wind up sponsoring the San Francisco Giants this season after MLB opened the floodgates to allow sponsor patches on jerseys. In my ignorance, I focused on well known brands and even better known Bay Area ones. I failed to account for the tech cancer that has swallowed the region whole. The Giants will be sponsored by Cruise.
What is Cruise? An autonomous vehicle company that has no affiliation with movie star Tom Cruise, which would’ve been cooler, even with Cruise’s troubling behavior and grim associations. Instead, the Giants have partnered with a San Francisco-based company determined to remove people from society as quickly as possible.
