During the halftime of the Mex vs. Pol match on Telemundo, I saw a Coca Cola ad that went like this: The Mex national team plays in some game and scores a goal against a team and the stadium goes nuts. The team scored against is...take a guess...the U.S.
The team is obviously the U.S. as it is using copycat replicas of the kits the US nats used in WC2002. An american company showed this, and it gets better, as it fades into a Mex flag and it say in spanish "Apoyando el equipo de todos" :confused: . I could have sworn that was the name for the US nats in all spanish media I have seen. Now I know why Coca Cola did this, and it does not surpise me as the Mexicans in the U.S. is a market that spends money. It is just that it stings to see a company made in the US sellout like that for those dollars.
On the other hand we have Pepsi which is not a sponser of US soccer but is indirectly involved with the sponsership of MLS. I have never seen a Pepsi ad in spanish do something like that Coke ad did yesterday.
Therefore I have concluded that I shall never spend another dime on the devil that is Coca Cola, and place my dollars in the coffers of Pepsi, a real american company that does not sellout (yet anyways :o ) and supports american soccer in the form of the MLS sponsership:cool:.
poorly written rant...over!
