Correct. 

Also, just for a comp, Avnet (the company that will sponsor the D-backs) had revenue of over $20B in 2022.

Chances are the average baseball fan has never heard of them either.

" Foundation Building Materials, Inc. (NYSE: FBM), one of the largest specialty building products distributors of wallboard, suspended ceiling systems, metal framing and complementary and other products in North America..."

 

They were acquired by a private equity firm in 2021, so no longer listed.

Not surprising why Arte likes them though.

The name “foundation” in Foundation Building Materials…
comes directly from the Bible, where in Luke 6:48 it speaks about a man building his house on a firm foundation (a rock) where it will be able to withstand the storms of life because of how it was built and what it stands on.

And people are discrediting them because of Twitter followers. 

Day laborers aren't on Twitter.

No, I'm not.  

On Twitter they certainly are.

You'd have to be some sort of sick, twisted fuck to be happy about this, btw. The patch isn't terrible but it's still a disgusting addition to the uniform.

And you’d have to be a miserable twisted fuck to be bothered by it.

They probably haven't heard of the Diamondbacks either.

I'm sure they haven't!  I'm curious to see how things play out with other teams to see how large/small the companies are. I know the Red Sox have Mass Mutual, Padres have Motorola, Reds have Kroger (for only $5M/yr), and the Astros have Oxy Energy.

FBM…FML!

Define bothered? 

It's not unreasonable at all to dislike this.

I hate advertising on the unis period.  But if some teams gets sponsored by a bail bonds company I'm getting one.

[tdawg87]

Btw I don't care about this. It is what it is. It's dumb, but it was inevitable.

I'm surprised we still have "Angels Stadium" honestly. Probably one of the good things Arte has done.

Depending on their number of Twitter followers, of course.

Now it makes more sense.

Honestly I wonder how much it cost.  It couldn’t have possibly been that much.  Shit I should have my work comp firm so it.  Could have been a dude Mo Vaughn on crutches and a big thumbs up with a dollar sign.

It could be In and Out Field but INO lost too much money in Texas.

I'm sure they follow the principles of Jesus and don't put profit above human dignity.
