    Almost $700 million in stadium naming-rights cash comes from companies on the government dole.

    It is called contractual obligation.

      It's called "my money being thrown down the toilet".

        It's called business. It isn't like the company's name on the side of the stadium just donated the money. It's endless advertising, and it's always been part of business. The idea is that companies receiving government money turn things around and become profitable again, and forcing them out of advertisement contracts would be counter-productive in that respect.
