Paying for a team to be on seems kind of dumb...UNTIL...you realize it isnt.I'll let you know when the realization that I'm paying $300 to advertise a Company's products doesn't seem like anything other than a brilliant PR move by said Company. Especially when the "discounts" you are being offered are probably less than (or, at best, equal to), the same flash sales offered by that Company every week throughout the year. They have not only convinced you to pay to advertise their product (yes, they are making money off you even with the "discounts"), they have convinced you that you are the one getting the value in this partnership. Brilliant move by them!
By the way, love you handle name!
Yeesh. You're bitter. Also a lot of what you said is wrong.
I’m bitter? You started the thread. I’ve never been rejected. So, I could care less what they do. But, I’m just calling it like it is. What’s “wrong” with what I said? I’ve seen everything I’ve stated above in various triathlon teams (I’m not talking about the one you said you were rejected from)....mandatory fees, check. Required clothing or other purchases, check. Promote their products, check. Similar discounts available to non-team members, check. Brilliant PR move, ok, debatable, but I think so.
