My point is simply that it's just another meaningless marketing gimmick that really does not do anything to improve the product, or increase exposure.

I mean, who really gives a flying fuk about yet another press release that means nothing?
So you are not anti-sponsorship, just anti-press releases?

Is sponsorship by breeding farms really a "marketing gimmick"? It doesn't decrease exposure and actually raises some revenues, neither which is a bad thing.

If you had been a little more clever you could have complained that industry "insiders" like the 4 farms that signed on will most likely get more of the premium seating as a result of this deal leaving fewer good options for actual fans.
