  1. Alcohol in moderation is good for your long-term health. But even that depends on the type of alcohol that you consume. Beer certainly isn't. Wine is, and whiskey to an extent.

     

    But for an athlete, there's no point in giving a shit about what's going to happen to you at 60 because your career is too short.

     

    Any alcohol consumed causes dehydration and will affect many things like your sleep pattern, which is why the top athletes don't drink any alcohol during their season.

     

    That's certified bullshit.

  2. My thoughts on it. This idea of an extra stream of revenue doesn't sit with me. No other club has to do a 'this could be you' to interest potential sponsors, why are we doing it? And the signs, the fact that the stadium name has, officially, had sports direct in the name for a couple of years now, makes me not believe a single word they're saying about it pulling in prospective sponsors. Until the day it changes and it's confirmed were receiving money for the privilege, that won't change. I won't hold my breath.

     

    True. On the other hand, the way Sports Direct is advertised on St. James' Park is really, really poor marketing. Having the whole place plastered with the logo just makes it look cheap and tacky, like an old whore with too much make-up. So it's not really any good for Sports Direct. And "your logo here"? It will either look as vulgar as Sports Direct, or it will be drowned under a deluge of Sports Direct.

     

    So: bad for the club, bad for Sports Direct, bad for other advertisers. Surely the very fact that such an inept fool can become a billionaire is a call for revolution.

  3. I'm all for commercialization. Money is good. It's going to happen whether you like it or not so might as well join the party and reap the benefits.

     

    I wouldn't mind any of this at all if it was actually making money for the club.

     

    (Well, maybe I'd wish that the design of the ad was slightly less fuck ugly.)

     

    It's just that tacking on yet another SportsDirect logo somewhere has no commercial effect whatsoever. It's just tacky and cheap.
