Ick’s Corner

I’m typing with a mouse (keyboard died), so I’ll keep this short…

Q: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH AMERICA?

A: They’ve/We’ve sold our soul, quite litterally.  We have become accustomed to our government selling us out to the highest bidder; consequences, lives, freedoms, and morals be damned.  So why should it be shocking when sports owners do the same thing?

“The Giants and the Jets face moral and public-relations questions as they negotiate the possible sale of the naming rights to their new stadium with Allianz, a Munich-based insurer and financial services company with disturbing connections to Nazi Germany.

Allianz insured facilities and personnel at concentration camps like Auschwitz and Dachau. Kurt Schmitt, its chief executive in the 1930s, served as Hitler’s second economics minister and can be seen in a photograph from a rally wearing an SS-Oberführer’s uniform and delivering the Nazi salute with Hitler standing in front of him.”

I respect the rights of the individual business, but ignoring basic ethics and morals for an extra buck is a soulless action… especially within a medium widely considered “America’s Game.”
