Sponsers?

Hi JC, I don't know how old you are...so this may not pertain to you. But, as a business owner, I have "sponsored" a bike with my company name on it. this essentially is a tax write off for me--every bike race I have my company name on my bike, which can qualify as advertising. This 40 something person may be a part of a team or something where a company is footing the bill for suits, and things like that, in exchange, the suits may have that company logo on it. For the company it's a way of advertising, and also a way to writing off expenses. I'm guessing that it's not Speedo, or Gatorade or anybody like that sponsoring him--or the team that he's on. It's probably his company, or one of his team mates. Similar things happen in softball--where a dry cleaner, or a bar will sponsor a team--they pay for the tournaments, and the players where the shirts of their sponsor's that say Greenies Bar, or something to that effect. Perhaps if the 40 something is on a team, you could also be a part of it.
