[QUOTE="donner, post: 1880014, member: 277"] i'm not saying the government should be in the business of sponsoring anyone, but it was a sponsorship of a professional team and a high profile athlete. similar to how nascar operates, only with a different audience. I don't know if USPS saw any 'bump' when lance was winning or not. If not, then it was a bad business decision to keep sponsoring him. If they did see a boost in return then it would make more sense, but still isn't something i think should have been done. I see a big reason to pay professional cyclists, just not with tax dollars. Just like i don't see a reason to spend tax dollars on stadiums for football or baseball teams. [/QUOTE]
