Football’s name-changing fetish shows the game’s infected with greed

[Chucky McChuckface]

I remember when Judas used to be called Sol Campbell, does that count?

Mr. Balance, not overly sure what all the little pictures mean other than you posshave a new phone, but yes if you change a name for money (be it yours or the stadium) you have sold naming rights. It’s not unheard of in sport to name something for a sponsor, or to get round sponsorship rules, it’s already happened in motorsport….Pagan

Mr. Balance, puzzled about what??? A large company, let’s say Samsung, pays a player to change his surname to Samsung, Samsung is then written on the back of the shirt and commentators have to refer to him as Samsung. Great advertising…..Pagan

Mr Pagan, remember when the original Adidas Trefoil logo used to have a ‘R’ beside it?

I somehow remembered Mr Pagan haha 🙂

That was what ultimately made owning a pair of Adidas Trainers or any form of Sportswear 🙂

Gladys The Other… sounds like a lesbo from Westeros if you ask me, rather than a Klingon from Uranus.
