There is advertising for sex shop and related stuff, i mean, they won't be showing porn, just the name of the site. My point was relating advertising for 18+ anyways. | ||

Yeah that's the reason this won't happen, most other sponsors would never in a million years allow their brand on the same shirt as a brazzers logo. So for a organisation, picking up brazzers as a sponsor would not be good for business. | ||

People who think it's cute to have a porn company associated with eSports have not thought things through. We're already viewed as a risky investment for most companies and this would only discourage reputable companies from becoming engaged. Not only that, there's a good chance we'd lose many of the brands that already support us. This is no joke. This *is* bad for eSports. | ||

It lets them filter undesireable sponsors from their fighters. I'd imagine if Brazzers starts seriously putting money in - then major tournaments would probably make players sign similar contracts requiring sponsor approval ( obviously for $0 fee or a $10-20 fee ) rather than the UFCs $50k fee :p They don't allow gun companies and some others to sponsor - but they do allow massive condom depot logos on shorts... some weird things there. The UFC took this action primarily to get rid of white power t-shirt brands advertising - and to stop affliction when it was a rival promotion from advertising on the UFCs content. | ||

There is already the controversy in the United States about the video game industry and the content it creates. There is still the old controversy on whether or not games cause, or there is any correlation between it and real life violence. Remember the Hot Coffee incident with GTA? Yeah.... So, considering we're trying to legitimize Starcraft II and e-Sports as a legitimate means of competition and take it to the main stream, I would say no. Having this type of company sponsor e-Sports, no matter HOW MUCH MONEY THEY HAVE, would be bad. It would give the impression to the general public that it's possibly indicent. Also, teenagers, who are not of legal age to watch adult material, WATCH STREAMS AND EVENTS. How would that look to the main stream media? At MLG, there have been very very young competitors (PokeBunny was underage, and I saw pictures of a very very young boy competing as well.) Since the age range of COMPETITORS ALONE is so wide (10-30+), it would create conflicts with the decency laws in various states, and within the U.S. Federal Government that MLG/IPL/NASL would NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH. NO. Again, NO. This is bad. | ||

Society has a label on certain things. Porn and Drugs have a very negative connotation to it, while Alcohol and Smoking are more accepted. We can try to argue that one is actually better then the other, but its the fact that that is how things are. You can complain how Jersey Shore and Justin Bieber are the worst things ever, but they sell and get ratings lol, you can try to convince the world that it is not worth it to listen/watch them, but more then likely you wont be able to convince the world. So to put it simply, you want your community to grow, a porn company sponsor doesnt help growth. Mainstream shuns it, and it will shun anything its involved with. | ||
