In the US, alcoholic beverage sponsors are quite popular and ordinary. Budweiser/Bud Light sponsors the NBA (national basketball association) and the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship). Additionally, Bud Light also sponsors the professional basketball team, Los Angeles Lakers. | ||

Yeah, Wagamama isn't really anything (apart from tasty). It markets itself as Japanese, primarily. It's not very pleasant, Chang beer. Unlike Everton, who I adore. | ||

Something I just thought of: EA and Activision have for a long time removed real-life alcohol and tobacco sponsors from their NASCAR games. I don't know if they're doing that because they had to or they were just being safe, but esports teams need to do their research... | ||
