Do you ever watch sports? Take the US Open that just wrapped up last weekend.
Yeah. But for the tennis, I far prefer watching Wimbledon. They don't take adverts.

Sponsors are not adverts. Sponsors get to say they are the "official
supplier of X to The Championships Wimbledon" on the packaging of their
products, and in some cases their actual *products* appear at the
championships. There are, though, no advertisements there.
Was IBM on that list? It sure was. What does the banner ad in the upper right hand corner of the site say?
