No Marriage between Football and Adult Dating
Ashley Madison is a notorious pro-adultery dating portal with some reeeally smart ideas! To get media attention for free it offered $25 million for the naming rights to the New Meadowlands Stadium - which is a stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey - part of the Meadowlands Sports Complex, in the New York City Metropolitan Area - home of the NFL teams New York Giants and New York Jets. The Ashley Madison stuff might have thought: "Life is short. Have an Affair" :D 5 million per year is kind of cheap for the naming rights to an NFL stadium. Bank of America pays $7 million to sponsor the Carolina Panthers. FedEx pays $7.6 million to sponsor the Washington Redskins.
You might remember the Ashley Madison getting rejected for a commercial spot in last year's Super Bowl – which the Giants/Jets will host in 2014, by the way. What do we learn from that? This smart move isn't much more than a PR grab - something that idiot media members fall for to keep printing the service's name all over the Internet :P
