That's pretty much what I was thinking. It's an example of how it's not just Disney looking for these opportunities. I don't particularly like either, as I feel like it could damage a brand over the long term, but I respect their right to do so.

If one thing is for sure, Disney is good at it.
I'm starting to think "Corporate Greed" become the default attitude ford91 has been showing for months now toward Disney along with the endless amount of comments he's been making about anything NBA (Which is starting to get old) In fact can someone edit this image titled "Old man yells at NBA"

So, no talk about this agreement adding AP upgrade seats to the Amway or the ability to renew your AP's at the Team Store (which in turn gets you one of these Jerseys?)

To begin with, I don't see how this is any different than corporate sponsorship of ballparks/arenas. Many sports teams were synonymous with their venue, which isn't a thing anymore. Are there any studies that show any causation of naming rights of stadia with decreased attendance?
I'll admit that I'm biased. Even though I'm American, I've followed European soccer for the past 20 years or so. Kit sponsorship is part and parcel of the sport. In fact, I even think of some eras of my club based on the kit sponsor, i.e. Dreamcast Arsenal vs O2 Arsenal.
For those people (or person) this to Nascar in a few years, I can only assume you were using hyperbole. The NBA is certainly smart enough to limit the amount of real estate available for advertisements. Is there any indication that unlimited ads is the future, or even that these small ads will lead to something bigger?

Though I don't like it (very old school and it looks tacky), it's only right that Disney partners with the Magic.
They actually haven't had any sponsors on the jerseys yet.. It starts this upcoming season. The 76ers are the first team to sign a sponsorship deal featuring the ads on the jerseys though...

You know what's funny?
So they can pay millions to the NBA but not for their own parks.......?
nah, they spend billions on the parks...

They could spend even more without budget cuts....

You know what's funny?
Or they could be more efficient with the money they already spend.
