Just because he has money, doesn't mean he gets to tell you what things are called.

I'm not letting you pay someone else for me to say your (unrelated) brand's name in private conversation.

If Verizon sponsored the Whitehouse and said "it's called the Verizon Democracy Centre" now, what would you call it?

Completely agree. Pisses me off when people refer to a football league by its' sponsored name.
