Mitsubishi – not only do they build cars in the US, but they also built some of the airplanes which attacked Pearl harbor.
Subaru – same as above, under the Fuji Heavy Industries name.
Bayer – we all use it, but didn’t they make the mustard gas used by the Germans in WW One?
Lukoil – they’ve expanded BIG in NJ with retail fuel dealers – but theyr’e owned by the Russian Mob.
LG – makers of the best flat screen TVs and have lots of cash to spare – but who wants Luky Goldstar in Korean calligraphy down the side of the stadium?
Cosmopolitan or Popular Mechanics – both owned by The Hearst Corp., founded by the man who virtually single-handedly got the US to attack Spain and starting the Spanish American War.
CAIN – the first to get away with murder (in his lifetime, anyhow).
Re: Nectar64 & “Why does a death camp need insurance?”
You aren’t looking at this correctly. Try it this way.
Say that you were a legitimate government building a facility. However, you would be concerned about potential damage which could occur to that facility due to natural occurances, such as fire, flood or wind.
There are companies which will take a payment every month, less than the total cost of the building, in order to make sure that in the unlikely event that one of these terrible events would occur, that you would be not be unreasonably financially inconvienenced by this untimly occurence.
For example: I am pretty certain that FDR has insurance policies taken out on the 10 facilities created by Executive Order 9066 & 9102 during the time of 1942 – 1946. These internment camps for Japanese Americans are still an investment of financial resources which could be lost & result in a financial hardship for the owner.
This is the cost of companies doing business with governments, you can be tarred with the same brush as the people you do business with.
Look, there are still people alive who will be displeased with any reference towards the Holocaust or rewarding anyone associated (regardless of how tangentally) with the Holocaust.
We all have our hot buttons, we should generally respect each others.
“naming rights”? What a wonderful marketing coup. Some fool will pay hundred of millions of dollars to have its name put on a stupid stadium. Who really give a s h i t? It’s not like there aren’t bigger issues to focus resources on.
The P.C. crap is wearing me down

Anyone else have a nomination?
Well considered. I suggest we rename Napoleon Brandy and Caeasar salad since these are obviously names of oppressors.
I’ve been in insurance for a long time…but why would a death camp need insurance….?
I don’t think they needed life insurance so much as they needed Mysterious Disappearance.
Or maybe Employee Fidelity, which they used to call Moth-eaten Blanket Bond.
Not LTC. Nor Event Cancellation.

Add Ford to the list. Also google project paper clip.
Maybe they should call it the Holocaust Memorial Stadium at Giant Field, then these folks might be happy.

Nice Mike, I was just going towards Ford.

he didn’t succeed in blowing up the Pentagon, so why not? Bill Ayres Stadium…
