Dont these athletes get freebees to promote the brand?  

Yes. It's cheap advertising. They will receive a lot more products leading up to the draft. Not sure why these people are pretending to be shocked by this.

In the world of high fashion, Christian Loubitan does not need to gift shoes to a relatively obscure athlete for the purpose of brand recognition. 

If it was Ibrahemovic or Messi or Lebron, then maybe, but not Fournette.

Huh? Relatively obscure? 14 of the top 100 athletes in the world on ESPN's list from last May are NFL players. Same list as Messi and LeBron. This week is the NFL draft. Saying Fournette, one of the most discussed players in the draft, is relatively obscure is incorrect IMHO.

He's way more well known than the non Brad Pitt level celebrities who get bunches of designer stuff for award shows. When he gets picked in the first, I am sure he'll have some other swag on as well. The drafts nowadays are a lot about fashion now. They even have a red carpet part. Also, unlike the celebrities, no designer has to worry about if Fournette makes it on stage and TV. He will.

Yes. He is relatively obscure. 

Put his picture up on a screen and ask 1000 people who he is outside of SEC country and you might get 10% to answer correctly. 

Maybe 1% if you go outside the USA. 

Will that change once he is in the NFL. Of course it will. But today? Obscure.

      Ticket Prices

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my son’s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, I’m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, it’s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons don’t cost 10-30% of the event.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Nope, that’s not the disconnect. In 2022, our GM knew he was going QB in the 2023 draft. You are talking about risking fans involvement on a team that’s been basically bottom 3 in the NFL from 2018 to now. There is no risk when you are that bad. We were right to want Fitterer to tank in 2022 and get rid of anyone who could bring us big value and extra cap room for future years when we aren’t winning 2-7 wins a year. We knew we wanted a rookie QB so we didn’t trade assets for picks and get a better draft slot so we ended up only getting a 2nd for Burns and threw in DJ Moore plus an early 2nd instead of a 1st, which basically lost us an early 2nd. The “risk” to our franchise’s losing culture ended up being around 4 1sts of total value. Yep, I refuse to listen to the other perspective that lost us around 4 1sts of value. At least our fan involvement is so high that our stadium isn’t chock full of visiting fans since we’ve won so much since 2022. Again, you won’t change my mind that we should have tanked in 2022 and had another 2-4 Browns/Horns on this team.
