Sprint Rebrands, Drops Nextel From Name
Hopefully AT&T and Alltel sue Sprint...

Dude, they paid millions of dollars for that sponsorship. Why would they want to allow another telecommunications company to advertise? If AT&T has a problem with it they can outbid Sprint for the next sponsorship and ban Sprint from having a car.
Because it's productive to have more sponsors. That would be like when AT&T was sponsoring American Idol them saying that Verizon or Sprint couldn't run commercials...
And if AT&T did out bid them, they wouldn't ban other telcos from being a sponsor.
It would be like putting up Sprint signs on the Idol stage during the show.. Running ads is fine, that is up to the company running the show.
What they are saying is its ok for SPRINT (Nextel) to do it but not ATT (Cingular)
What Sprint is doing about the AT&T name change is just ridiculous and petty. Now with this, they're putting a huge target on their back and basically shouting to the world that they're a company based on hypocrisy.
AT&T will counter-sue. Don't doubt that for a second.

What was said, Is all current wireless sponsors would be allowed to keep the sponsorship, but would not allow any new wireless sponsors, or any RENAMING, which is what AT&T is doing.
That was what was said during last race.
