Olympics Protect Their Sponsors By Covering Up Some White Seats At Old TraffordOld Trafford, home of Manchester United, has been hosting some of the preliminary matches in Olympic soccer.

There's an exclave in Manchester, where SI's Grant Wahl just tweeted out this photo of Old Trafford's east stand. Normally (as seen in this picture), a select few seats are painted white to make a Nike swoosh. For qualifying matches, they've put tarps over just enough of those seats to render the swoosh unrecognizable. Now it's just a Nike line!
