Corporate cooties! DNC rebrands Bank of America Stadium as ‘Panthers Stadium’
twitchy ^

Posted on 07/17/2012 7:33:24 AM PDT by sunmars

Now that the Democrats are gearing up to hold their September convention at the stadium, they can’t even bring themselves to type the words “Bank of America.” You know, because corporations are totally greedy, especially when they’re associated with the bankster one percent.

For the record, Bank of America Stadium has never been called “Panthers Stadium.” Bank of America purchased naming rights in 2004, replacing L.M. Ericsson Inc. as the corporate (gasp!) sponsor. Prior to that, the facility was known as Carolinas Stadium.

Yep, can’t have President Obama associated with an icky corporation when he delivers his keynote address at, ahem, Bank of America Stadium.

And it’s not just a bit of iffy proofreading in one email.

Politico reports that “Another email in June made the same pitch about the stadium.”

At the rate they’re going they could hold it in an alley somewhere. They can name it Free Peoples Stadium or something.

Because he was about to say "Alinsky Park," but caught himself.

I remember an issue her in Indianapolis about ten years ago.

We had the “RCA Dome” hosting the “Sony World Tennis Championships”, so the announcers kept referring to the venue by it’s old name, “The Hoosier Dome”.

Not sure what came out of that.

How much bailout money did BoA get? That’s what I’m guessing Obie doesn’t want anyone to remember.

I cannot remember when the switch occurred only that President Reagan campaign was a Blue State one.

It was the Democrat propaganda outlet CBS News in 1984 that changed it. 1984 is also the year of George Orwell's novel about a future society tyrannized by The Party and its totalitarian ideology: Big Brother, doublethink, thoughtcrime, Newspeak, memory hole, etc.

I believe the city of Charlotte needs to reimburse BOA for a portion of their corporate sponsorship fee. I am sure BOA’s contribution paid for the entire year - not just 362 days of a year.

Hey! I hear they can probably get the naming rights for “Beaver Stadium” pretty cheap these days!

I knew there was one more recent gaff that I could not think of. Goes to show that Dems think they can say and do what they want. And change any word they feel like. You know like is is. We really have a challenge takin on these folks.
