If you're going to deny a FIRST team money based on one of the teams being extremely GP, the sponsor clearly doesn't get FIRST, and I want none of their money.
If the sponsor secretly would give neither team money unless they both shared, now that would be different. A valuable lesson rather than manipulation.

If the money's green, I'm not turning it away!
