Our English friends were dismayed in the last few days to discover that Hooters restaurants had sponsored a children’s soccer team.
In Quebec (and in the rest of Canada too), we do not ask ourselves the question: it is Tim Hortons who sponsors the soccer teams, generally up to the U8 level (under 8 years old) inclusive.

Conversely, at least one commenter seemed to welcome the partnership:
“I would have liked my U10 team to do the same. Why are people so angry about this?! They obviously never went to Hooters! A great bar, with a great marketing plan and supporting a local team where the kids might not have had gear otherwise. People need to relax and go for a beer.”
