Hopefully he is more aware of the impact of the English language....

Think about it (I realise it's difficult). Players wear sponsors logos, names, etc. It means extra income. Clubs rename venues, it means extra money .. for them.
What's in it for me? What's my incentive to name a stadium by the sponsor name? Spectators give sponsors thousands of dollars of free advertising by mentioning their name, having their logos attached to their clothing, etc.
Unless I support the club or organisation who benefits from the sponsorship, there is no reason for me to observe them .. so I don't.
