think carefully:

those who go to watch the game, watch polkadot on some of the jersey/ training/ some post etc

then what? How much people will look for what it is, and that will end it all, it is not something that they can buy, it is not a product.

It is a chain for others to develop things on top of the chain

the market does not fit 😅

Even if is for real Madrid or barcelona , i dont think this is the path that we should take, for a blockchain.

ROI does not add up. Naye for now.

Will wait and see of Indy500 promotion brings any notable attention to DOT and then will reconsider this vote.
