Nyman finds resourceful ways to land headgear sponsor … on eBay
THERE'S REALLY NOTHING a person can’t buy on eBay these days — someone’s grilled cheese sandwich, chewed up gum … Steven Nyman’s head.
No foolin’.
As of Wednesday, the U.S. alpiner’s headgear space is being sold to the highest bidder.
“It’s a stab in the dark. I’m just throwing it out there,” said Nyman, who has never had a headgear sponsor. “Whatever comes out of it is fine. If some sewage company wants to sponsor me, great. Maybe they could give me a uniform to warm up in … a one-piece jumpsuit.”

agree  Jonathan MacKerron: or "main sponsor"?

  -> fine, or indeed major
agree  silvia glatzhofer: with Jonathan ... but still questioning asker's explanation

  -> thanks silvia, vorausgesetzt dass....
agree  Nicholas Krivenko: Headgear sponsor sounds more like someone who pays for a helmet and gets his/her name pinned to the athlete somewhere, not necessarily to the head. Main or major sponsor sounds better.
