The Kentucky Fried Chicken Derby
In the future, every American will be assigned a corporate sponsor and a logo at birth.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Jockeys can wear advertising patches during the Kentucky Derby, a judge ruled Thursday.
The jockeys issued a statement after the ruling, saying the ads would be tasteful.
David Michaels, who is producing the broadcast for NBC, said that the network would not ignore the patch issue. Announcers will address the news and shots of the jockeys would not be purposely positioned to minimize advertisements worn on their silks.
"You can't compromise your coverage because of somebody's patch," Michaels said.
