The 2023 edition of the Moto2 World Championship will begin on March 26 in Portugal – Moto2 team American Racing recently roped in OnlyFans as their sponsor
American Racing Moto2 team has roped in popular streaming service OnlyFans as one of their primary sponsors ahead of the 2023 season. American Racing is the only American team in Moto2 and will be represented by Sean Kelly and Rory Skinner this season.
OnlyFans is a subscription service used primarily by sex workers to produce pornography but also hosts other content such as physical fitness and music.
Moto2 testing is currently being staged in Jerez, Spain and a big poster of ‘OnlyFans’ can be spotted in American Racing’s pitlane. This partnership officially marks the entry of OnlyFans into motorsports, following the footsteps of the betting and alcohol industry. The London-based organisation was founded in 2016 and has grown in popularity at a rapid pace over the last few years.
Let us take a look at some of the reactions from fans on social media.
“Sure why not. Beats the Crypto/ Tobaco/ Alcohol sponsorships that are all over F1”, wrote a fan.
“Great for them. I hope the stigma around adult work will disappear over time. In the Netherlands we have football club FC Emmen sponsored by EasyToys. That was also quite controversial, but now generally accepted”, tweeted another fan.
“Now they’re good in wet conditions”, joked another sarcastic fan.
“What’s wrong in a company who makes money from human’s physical assets sponsoring people that makes money from human’s physical assets?” – read a tweet.
Another fan wrote: “Anyone remember Extenze in Nascar? (Erectile Dysfunction Pills).”
