Re: Local government ordinance hampers Beatty finances.

This is why I have been preaching sponsor diversification to my team for the past year. Because if you only have a few sponsors that each hash out a large sum/yr, and one or more take a hit, you're screwed. Teams that have more sponsors than people are the teams with eternal staying power.

Maybe this will serve as a lesson to other successful teams to prepare. I know my own team was this dependent with Ford and had moderate success, and when Ford pulled sponsorship on us for a year, we went into a debt that we still haven't climbed out of.
