[Football] Uber Eats Ligue 1 is no more. Long live Ligue 1 McDonald's

[US Seagull]

Ligue 1 working hard to be taken seriously:

[Greg Bobkin]

I'm lovin' it!

 

[US Seagull]

With Mbappe gone, they are going to sign McBappe!

On the plus side, they are going to have the refs dressed like clowns.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Not sure why that had to burger about with the sponsorship

 

[schmunk]

Is it any worse than the erstwhile Carling Premiership?

A sport played by elite level athletes sponsored by some of the unhealthiest garbage you can consume.

It’s fine in moderation. I have it 5-6 times a year and it’s a nice treat. You can’t live on the stuff though, that’s where people go wrong.

Oh definitely. I've had more than my fair share of Big Macs.

I don't think it's any worse than a league sponsored by Sky Bet

US sports are practically owned by Gatorade and beer brands.

In Canada, there is some effort to "healthify" our sponsorships. Here in Ottawa-Gatineau, our NHL Senators dropped the Coca-Cola Zone in favour of... Milk!

But our other main sponsor is still McDonald's, and the lesser sponsors are mostly local: pizzerias, car dealerships, hardware stores, with several national companies thrown in (sports networks, telecomms). Gambling sites are unfortunately making inroads here, too. Nearly forgot: One sponsor is a recycling company, so that makes 2!!! healthy/eco sponsors, lol.

I'm guessing that's because dairy farmers in Canada basically run a cartel and have plenty of money to burn.

In the Senators' case, it's the Dairy Farmers of Ontario!

But there is a quasi-cartel here in Québec. The Dairy Farmers' Union in this province is like the Teachers' Union in Ontario, lol

Surely McDonalds is an improvement on Uber eats?

 

[Coldeanseagull]

I'm not too worried about the name change....uber eats still deliver McDonalds

Fair enough, but you also sell milk in bags and sorry, that's just weird.

Here's Why Milk Comes in Bags in Parts of Canada -- CBC

Well, I've spent practically my whole life using milk bags in specially-made pitchers, so for the years I spent living in Western and Eastern Europe, and East Asia, I had to adapt to the absolute weirdness of bottles and jugs being slipped through a round hole in my front door every morning!

A cultural shock from which I've yet to recover...

I've lived in Canada for over 8 years and still REFUSE to buy milk in bags.

But... but... When in Rome....!

So long as you don't root for the Leafs or Toronto FC, you're still okay with me!
