I like watching volleyball. It's only minimally because I like the sport.
So, the AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour plasters temporary tattoos of its corporate sponsors on the athletes' bodies. Shoes, energy drinks, sports medicine, fruit juice, rum, and hotel chains. I find this disturbing. I understand that volleyball players are more scantily-clad than most other athletes, and the lack of clothing offers less ad space. Putting your company name on a jersey you made or provided money to make is one thing. Branding athletes is another. I just feel like bodies should be off-limits.
Oh, and also, I was just informed I'm watching The "2009 AVP CROCS™ CUP CHAMPIONSHIP KENTUCKY GRILLED CHICKEN™ CHICAGO OPEN."
