Genuinely struggling to see your problem here Bucksiron.
Website struggling for cash
Sponsor offers cash
Gratefully accepted
Problem solved
It almost seems like you’re looking for an argument when there’s no need for one.
If anything, your concern should be for the sponsor who’s got into bed with an organisation who may not entirely share its core values, assuming of course that anyone who does business with the royals must be ardent royalists rather than cynical capitalists who see the potential value of an association with royalty.
Perhaps you could offer them your valuable PR services, just on the off chance that the odd potential buyer of a granite worktop might be influenced by the opinions of a few who might hold left-of-centre views on the non-football section of a website the manufacturer sponsors.
(posters who, of course, don’t “run” the website, fundamentally undermining your initial accusation of hypocrisy)
