"With an enigmatic name that refers to a specific time and activity of questionable relationship to the organization's actual purpose, Cycling '74 has received its share of athletic sponsorship requests during its nine year history.

However, when I received an urgent call from the coach of my son Bruno's soccer team saying that they were flirting with disqualification for lack of a sponsor, our corporate policy of exhaustive review (involving multiple levels of committee meetings) was carelessly discarded in order to seize the opportunity to market advanced audio and video software products to sports-minded 11-year-old boys and what we hoped would be their easily influenced parents."
