I was watching some sports tonight and I came across an Orlando Magic game being played at the Amway Arena . Like many people, I detest Amway. Seeing the signs for “Amway Arena” made me change the channel.
I don’t like naming rights in sports, but I’m able to leave these feelings outside of the game. Except for Amway.
I think most names for arenas and stadium are stupid and most companies which buy naming rights end up bankrupt. Enron Field, National Car Rental Center, Pro Player Stadium, or end up going through mergers. No more Fleet Center or Pac Bell Park.
Still, I truly despise multi level marketing. I don’t think I could go to an event at the Amway Arena.
