I was watching the F1 last night and the Emirates sponsorship of McLaren got me thinking what other extremely expensive sports Emirates sponsor. My list so Far:

F1- Mclaren
Premier League- Chelsea
Football World Cup- Germany 2006
Horse Racing- The Melbourne Cup
Super 14 Rugby - Western Force
AFL – Collingwood (Only Australian will
Americas Cup - Team Zealand

Plus they sponsor several other major events that I will not bore with the detail.

They seem to focus on some of the most expensive sports and throw Millions of Dollars at them. I would be very surprised if this comes from the Emirates Budget maybe a little of the cash comes from the Royal Family

No I am not suspicious

NB: Good one them for supporting the worlds sporting events and teams! ^
