So, if for instance the Mormon Church wanted to spend a few million bucks to be the title sponsor, would that be OK? What about some creationist movement with a lot of dough? Or some extreme conservative right wing lobby group that wanted to state an anti-gay or anti-gender equal society? Still OK
What about if the KKK raised a shitload of cash? I´m sure they also want to "recruit"...
Extreme exemples, yes, but where would the WTC draw the line for something being TOO political, to religious, to polarizing?
If it´s just about the money, it´s just a matter who would pay the most.
And I get the point why the Marines want to sponsor this! But the question remains unanswered if that´s appropriate in a so-called World Champs? What´s next year? Letting the CIA sponsor the event? I´m sure they could use some good press too...
If you´re an American and went to a World Champs in a foreign country, would you feel comfortable and at ease with the opposite scenario?
Apparently you have not even a little bit of a clue about the Marine Corps.
BTW, if I went to a race in, say, Russia and it was sponsored by the Russian equivalent of the USMC I would have no issue (FTR I have never served in any armed forces).
Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.
