    Just because he has money, doesn’t mean he gets to tell you what things are called.

    They changed the name of the millennium dome in London to “the 02 Arena”.

    I’m not letting you pay someone else for me to say your (unrelated) brand’s name in private conversation.

      Completely agree. Pisses me off when people refer to a football league by its’ sponsored name.
