The Times editorial board writes: United Airlines Memorial Coliseum is crass and depressing, but a deal is a deal (via latimesopinion)

Is it an affront to veterans to change the name of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, a publicly owned historic landmark and sports venue, to the United Airlines Memorial Coliseum?And as president of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission she is calling for USC to renegotiate the 16-year, $69-million deal that it struck with United Airlines, leaving the hallowed entrance arches of the Coliseum unbesmirched by brand names and corporate logos.

Hahn’s spokeswoman said the supervisor wasn’t aware of the proposed name change until she was appointed to the Coliseum Commission a year and a half ago. That’s probably why she’s jumping in late. But still: The deal is the deal, and her proposed renegotiation could upend it.
