A sponsor-stuffed Nets web site debuts

The New Jersey Nets' web site has been relaunched--and nearly every segment of the site seems to have a sponsor attached. By contrast, check out the presentations of the Knicks, the Lakers of Tinseltown, and especially the champion San Antonio Spurs. They're no less flashy, but they are less branded.

That's profitable marketing by the Nets and a reminder, yet again, of a significant dimension of professional sports today. "[Nets CEO Brett] Yormark and his team have seen to it that a veritable department store of marketers are given space and face time with fans," Brandweek reported last year about some other efforts.

Yormark, clearly, has kept up the pace.

  2. I agree. This accusation seems a bit over-the-top.
