Seeing Cape Town Stadium get renamed to DHL Stadium pissed me off so hard
This might sound silly, but going to that stadium, I felt an indescribable sense of community with everyone who showed up to support whatever artist/band/sports team was there . So many people, with a shared interest, in one place.
Since I live further out of Cape Town, I rarely get to experience that.
That piss yellow logo DHL logo everywhere ruined the experience so fucking much.
KINDLY REMEMBER YOUR GLOBAL CORPORATE OVERLORDS WHO ARE NOT SORRY FOR KEEPING TICKET PRICES HIGHER THAN THEY NEED TO BE. ALSO, FUCK YOU. REMEMBER TO GAMBLE.

Yeah because Cape Town Stadium - that sounds like it's an establishment of community. Like the name is named after something that represented that community. But when you hear DHL Stadium, it's like they expect you to go there, after paying tickets and be thinking about "WHA, I THINK I WANT...I WANT TO SHIP SOMETHING BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT BUT I HAVE THIS STRONG DESIRE TO SHIP SOMETHING WITH DHL! PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY!" That's what they want anyways.

Speaking of South Africa, what do people in the Eastern Cape call that large city? You know… that city that got renamed?
