We are not sure of the benefits this can bring to the Polkadot ecosystem.

I think the expenditure that has already been made on the sponsorship proposal with Inter Miami has already been quite high and we don't seem to have had a high impact on Polkadot.

Not sure about the ROI. Let's focus on improving polkadot's usability.

Now that the Inter Miami partnership is in place, we should also aim for this integration.

The proposal to convert sports fans to Web3 doesn’t align with Polkadot’s current priorities imo. Its vague budget, commercial focus, and lack of viable strategies to retain long-term on-chain users make my first vote nay. The mention of a multi-year deal, despite limited traction and community input, adds further concern.

I wish this sort of effort was the focus of the initial sponsorship deal, as I also emphasizes the non-existent technical integration vision back in the days of the sponsorship deal. Comes in late. It can be considered as part of future extension proposals, as it doesn't seem to be of value without it.

I think at this point the Inter Miami sponsorship can be considered adjunct, no tangible benefit to the ecosystem, no technical integration, just a couple of really expensive photos and events.
