It’s just such a terrible name.. I’m tired of all the team names just being a string of corporations

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

I mean, it has been this way since the 1980s.. but nowadays it's often "Company 1 Company 2 Company 3" instead of "Sponsor Team". And stupid sponsorship names that are very long dont help either

Yeah like Ferrari or Mercedes or Red Bull or McLaren or...

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Well, at least three of those are actually car manufacturing companies that used their competition teams to both promote their vehicles and showcase new R&D achievements. Even RedBull has a reputation and history of marketing towards high intensity thrill seeking and adrenaline junkies, which makes sense in a high risk high stakes sport. There's a qualitative difference between Ferrari and VisaCashappWalmart or whatever it is they're doing now.

The worst part is Raging Bull, though.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s going to be racing bulls tho right?

[–] bedrooms@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Oh, was it? I must've been mistaken.

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Any other sources? I desperately want this to be one person's hoax!

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

So far I have only seen this one person's screenshot

[–] middlemanSI@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ok new rule: No advertisers from outside automobile industry.

[–] Glifted@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You mean like Red Bull?

[–] middlemanSI@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Red Bull is developing their own engine at least
