In what way does it "cheapen it"? Do board ads "cheapen" your game experience? Do corporate arena names "cheapen" the arena experience? It's a logo that will appear around the arena and on tickets. It means absolutely nothing except to the moralist crowd and the usual "WAAAAH CORPORATIONS WAAAAH" folks.
My favorite soccer team is currently the only one in the EPL without a shirt sponsor and you know what? I'd trade the clean kit look for the money in a heartbeat. Sports is a business, pretending otherwise in 2011 is just silliness.
Hockey is for you and me not for ****ing industry if you don't understand that nor care, well then you are one of the guys companies are counting at. I don't mean that as an insult, its just the truth.
Sport is at first a sport something people love to attend, I hate the fact and it will not only cheapen my experience it will make it HARD cheering for my Wings, that we will now see the shameway logo everytime the winged wheel is presented somewhere.
In my mind its disgraceful, shameful for the clubs ideals/tradition and a big **** you from Wilson to all the Wings fans.
I am supporting a SPORTS CLUB, not a ****ing corporate brand.
