Last week it was reported that Tennessee football recruits were offered monetary benefits sealed by way of McDonald’s bags. It was a scandal that took over social media by storm leaving many people to question, “why McDonald’s?”
I too questioned their thought process behind the use of a bag that smells like stale onions and grease, and is there any symbolism behind McDonald’s and their golden arches? Not really, there isn’t any semblance of connection there. Whoever the bagman was he probably just got caught up in the drive-thru line and forgot to get a proper envelope.
What if SEC bagmen used carry-out bags from restaurants who were established/are headquartered nearby? I did the research to find out which carry-out bag would match each school and boy, does the symbolism speak for itself here.
