XL.com Back West Ham Presidential Nominee

West Ham shirt sponsors XL.com have been quick to grab a little free publicity by exploiting the news that American presidential hope Barack Obama is supposedly a West Ham fan. They have offered to fly the Democrat nominee to West Ham's next home game, give him a free ticket and provide him with free hospitality.

"We send thousands of West Ham fans to Florida every summer so we'd be delighted to bring the Senator over to the UK," said XL.com managing director Martin Lock.
