City and Durex partnership gets the usual jokes

oh brilliant another thread where everyone thinks they are the first person to say protection and clean sheets and all that absolute comedy genius stuff, honestly the replies are so desperate to be witty that it loops back round to being embarrassing and yet i still cannot look away because city have somehow become the gift that keeps on giving for rival fans and it is funny in the worst possible way
 
The measured point is that this is a straightforward sponsorship and the club are just selling exposure like everybody else, which is normal enough, but the tangent is that City have this weird ability to make even the dullest commercial news feel like a meme factory because people are already turning it into the same old protection gags and charge jokes and clean sheet lines, and that says as much about football culture as it does about the club, because fans will always use whatever is in front of them to have a dig and today it just happens to be Durex, which is absurd on its own, and now I have gone from thinking it was a mildly funny headline to wondering how many more clubs are one sponsor away from becoming pure internet bait and honestly maybe that is the real story here because every big club is basically one badly timed announcement from being roasted into oblivion
 
i actually laughed out loud when i saw it because it feels so absurdly on the nose and the comments made it even funnier, i know people are saying the jokes are tired but i still enjoy when a headline gives everyone the same excuse to be daft for a bit and this one is absolutely that
 
The officials are going to get dragged into this somehow as well arent they because every time City are involved in anything the whole thing turns into a mess of agendas and jokes and complaints and now with this partnership all anyone wants to do is make cheap protection lines instead of talking about the actual announcement, but the way refs and officials get treated online is a joke in itself because people will blame them for absolutely everything and then act shocked when the conversation becomes toxic, and you can already see it happening here with the same old charges references and the same old nonsense about being fucked and needing protection and it all just turns into noise, which is fine for a laugh but absolutely dreadful if you actually want a normal discussion about football because the officials are always the ones catching it from every direction no matter what happens
