Re: Should sponsors be held the same standards as teams?

If you are looking for a highly specific ruling I doubt you would get it. Life is like that. You could in theory make the ruling so narrow that all team members look alike, all teams look alike, all sponsors look alike. No innovation, one dimensional. I think the issues are too broad and complex.

I have a very old large farm. There are areas where families used to live a long time ago. If I dig up the site there are very few remains. A few buttons, nails, or bricks. Back in that day manufactured goods were very scarce. Most man made items were organic and returned to the earth. On other areas of the farm are more modern homesites. There are materials that will be here a long long time if not recycled. Most items do not return to the earth. Not robots, nor HDTVs, nor carburetors, nor anything else. Our view of the world is so normalized to what we see today, we can't see yesterday or tomorrow.

The world is complex and the answers impure. If we draw too narrow a definition of the type of companies and sponsors we will work with, then we will be like Gilligan, on a deserted island, no phone ,no lights, no motor car, not a single luxury.

ramble, ramble
