Sponsors

Three teams I enjoy watching are the:
Minnesota Twins
Minnesota Timberwolves
Chicago Cubs
Minnesota Vikings

**the reason i did not choose the Vikings is due to the fact I don't want to do 3 Minnesota teams.  screw it, i'll do the Vikings

Before i get started, I would like to address my support of the Timberwolves.  I do not care if they suck.  Be a true fan!  They totally overhauled their roster this year, and if not for the injury to off season aquisition Martell Webster, i bet we would be around 30 wins this season.  We're still going to get like 25 wins, i'm telling you.  Michael Beasley could be an all star.  He's always had the talent.  It's happening.  This is the year the T-Wolves win back the all the fans that left them after like the 2006 season?  i think that's when we started losing.  I forgot haha.

Target sponsors the Twins and Timberwolves.  This is evident through Target's support in their stadiums (Target Field & Target Center). 
This makes sense because Target is a Minnesota-based company.  Everyone in Minnesota loves Target.  Ask any Minnesotan.  Wal-Mart or Target?  If they say Wal Mart, they are probably from like Wisconsin or something.  Or the Dakotas. 

I guess i'll do four teams since it's easier.  I do like the Cubs too.  They are my national league team.  Go Cubs.  except if they're playing the Twins.  Ok.

Alright Under Armour sponsors the Cubs.  There are Under Armour logos in the vines in the outfield of Wrigley Field.  This makes sense because Under Armour is a prominent baseball brand, making gloves, cleats, and undershirts.  They're dece.  I do enjoy me some Under Armour. 


Mall of America sponsors the Vikings.  They made some lame agreement with the Metrodome so when the Vikings play there it's the Mall of America Field at the Metrodome.  Regardless.  This makes sense because Mall of America is one of the coolest things Minnesota has.  MOA and New Brighton.  The 2 coolest things in Minnesota.  And Target Field.  And First Ave.  Just sayin'

Public Relations

1: The purpose is to promote natural beauty amongst women, not artificial make up, plastic surgery beauty. 
2: Because being beautiful is such a big part of today's society.  It's refreshing to see commercials advertising natural beauty instead of artificial beauty.
3: I think it is worthy because one, it could probably help sell Dove products because they stand for something positive.  And two, the population will think that they will stand up to big businesses that promote artificial beauty.


1: They had a hard time stopping the leak, which isn't necessarily their fault, but it only helped expose the fact they were relatively bad at stopping oil leaks. 
2: Tony what's his face (The CEO) could've watched him comments and thought before he spoke.
3: When asked about the 11 people that were killed in the explosion, he said something like, "i want my life back" or something, which is a little heartless.  It's never a bad idea to speak your mind, but on national TV you should probably hold back, especially when you're under scrutiny.

Twitter and the NFL

1- They implemented these rules because a lot of players use this method of communication with their fans. 
2-The rule effects players, coaches, anyone representing a player or coach, or team official.
3- The first player fined was Chad Ochocinco.  He was fined 25k (daaaaaaang)
4-Yeah, since he broke the same rule in the same way he should get fined the same way.  25k is a steep penalty, but the NFL could at least be consistent about it. 
5-I think it's fine, since they should be focused on the game.  The penalties are very steep, but it is a very simple rule to follow.
