Not sure how the Titans associates with Tennessee

The committee choose Titans citing the desire to have a nickname that reflected “strength, leadership and other heroic qualities.” “Titans come from early Greek mythology and the fact that Nashville is known as the ‘Athens of the South’ makes the Titans name very appropriate,” according to the late owner Bud Adams.

Isn't Athens, Georgia the 'Athens of the South'?

Dan Snyder’s bad week: Anheuser-Busch drops Commanders sponsorship; Team 980 won’t broadcast games​

Late Friday a story came out about Anheuser-Busch cutting ties with the Washington Commanders with no reason given for their decision. This is the third sponsor to end their relationship with Washington in the last year, following Inova last April, and Medliminal last month. Washington is looking for a new beer sponsor as Budweiser will continue to sponsor the NFL and 20+ other NFL teams.

In a statement provided to The Washington Post by a company spokesperson, Anheuser-Busch said it decided not to renew its sponsorship of the Commanders “at this time.”

“We remain fully committed to Washington football fans, and we look forward to continuing our long-term partnership with the NFL and our other 26 team partners to create meaningful experiences and connections for fans across the country,” the spokesperson said.

This morning the Commanders were hit again after Kevin Sheehan announced that their games would not be broadcast on Team 980 or any other Audacy stations for the 2022 season. Money was mentioned, but they also don’t want to feel pressured or limited in what they are allowed to say about the team. Dan Snyder used to own the radio station, but sold it during the 2018 offseason. This ended the team’s ownership and control of the station, and the perceived bias that came with it.
