In one of those transparent publicity seeking ploys that are the stock-and-trade of fringe companies providing services outside the realm of accepted morals, AshleyMadison.com, a dating site designed specifically for adulterers, has offered $25 million over five years to hold the naming rights to the new stadium for the Giants and Jets set to open in a few months.

New Meadowlands Stadium Receives $25 Million Naming Offer From Adultery Site
↵↵Well OF COURSE the people running the stadium will accept. Just as soon as they get done painting an image of the prophet Muhammad on the 50-yard-line.↵
↵↵Given Tom Brady’s and Bill Belichick’s exploits, perhaps this would have been a better fit for the Patriots stadium, but their home in Foxboro already got Gillette to pony up some money.↵

↵↵But then not only is the offer unthinkable in ways too numerous to list, it’s not even all that lucrative as far as NFL stadiums go. Bank of America and FedEx each pay at least $7 million a year to stick their names on the stadiums of the Panthers and Redskins, respectively. In conclusion, sorry you won’t get your brand on the new Meadowlands stadium, AshleyMadison.com, but you are commended for cashing in on our staid sensibilities, much like the folks behind the rejected ManCrunch Super Bowl ad.↵
