Out of random curiosity... Every sports arena now has a sponsorship deal with a large company for the naming rights of their stadium (AT&T Field, PNC Park), would you be okay with the US Government selling the naming rights to National Parks for, let's say $10 Million dollars to companies? Gettysburg gets a $10 Million dollar check for the park for improvements while Papa John's (in this example) gets their name plastered all over the park signs, brochures, and on the uniforms of the park service employees and vehicles. Would you be okay with "Papa John's Presents the Battle of Gettysburg" if it meant park improvements, better trails and roads, and better staffing? Maybe Tractor Supply Company's Yosemite Park. Or, Piggly Wiggly's Battle of Shiloh. It might sound like a silly question but would anyone be surprised to see this happen in the future? Probably not. |

I wouldn't be surprised to see such a thing happen in the future but I wouldn't like it. I would regard it as a disgusting development in the insidious intrusion of corporations into matters over which they should have no say or ownership. In this instance we are talking about warfare where people risked their lives for causes they believed in for the betterment of their fellows. A big NO from me but sadly I will probably live to see such an abhorrent thing. |

I have thought about this also. There would be serious objections from many people but as long as the companies can't control the narrative of historical events it probably wouldn't matter all that much. If the money was enough to cover major improvements I could see it being a good thing. I'd still not like it though. |
