It would be California.
The first thing I want to object to is the term "iconic." Maybe it is to Los Angelinos. I don't think the building has much to do with that. A lot has happened there. Some of the best games in both the NBA and NHL have played there. That is more of a coincidence. It felt like an airport terminal without the gates, and a big, cavernous middle, which doesn't make it any different than any other arena built in the last 25 years. It is difficult to paint an advertisement as an "iconic" one.
The old L.A. Forum, Boston Garden, and Chicago Stadium are icons, and newer generation buildings will reach that with enough time.
The point of all this is not that.
I am not going to say that I have any idea what cryptocurrencies are. Someone will probably tell me when I have to. I don't know if it's a good way to bilk poor people out of money and transfer more of it to rich people, but it's definitely a way to do that. I don't know if it's a scam or not, but I do know that it isn't. It seems that there are alleys in which people think they have beaten the system in order to get people to believe they have. It doesn't seem to have a center.
Maybe it isn't morally repugnant to accept a show's money in order to change the name of your arena. Maybe having an arena in their name won't make the societal virus even more destructive, because it won't collapse on itself and hopefully not take a wide swath of the population with it, or maybe they just won't. The last few years have taught us that we can get a large number of people to buy into anything if we yell loud enough.
It is a perfect fit in California, where some of our most galaxy-brained thinking comes from, like the original anti-vax plague. I think part of the charm of California is that it always thought it had a better way of doing things. It will slip into weird and various forms of witchcraft occasionally. No more California songs.
I suppose in a sports world that keeps presenting itself for any gambling site that will have it, this isn't too much of a further step into the future.
