Quote:Jacksonville Veterans Arena.

 

Coca-Cola Veterans Arena

 

Whats the difference?

 

My father is a 20 year Navy vet. Do you think he is beaming with pride that the arena has Veterans plastered on it and not Coca Cola? I wonder how many of those veterans that care about the name of the arena are complaining about the city's pension problem? Think about it. Say they could have gotten 500k per year from a company. The arena has been open for 10 years. That's 5 million in lost revenue.
 

I agree with you, but we're talking political clout. You can't diss veterans (if by perception only) and live to talk about it. These politicians work hard for those endorsements by the VFW, etc.
The sun's not yellow, it's chicken.
