    Taco Bell and McDonalds are just all over the NBA. I know, money money money. But how can the NBA justify being sponsored by a food company whose food, if eaten every day, would make a kid so obese that he couldn't make the league? Is it ethically okay for that?

    The Taco Bell part is obvious. Notice the McDonalds sign on the cushion underneath the basket.

    Because Sprite, McDonalds, Taco Bell etc. pour millions and millions and millions of dollars into the NBA.

    When Honey Nut Cheerios is willing to give up that much cash to sponsor the NBA, they'll be the sponsors instead.

    NBA players probably eat a ton of it, too. It's surely what they grew up with.
