The University of Kent told the Rutherford Raiders football team that a sponsorship deal between them and the adult site would be “totally inappropriate”.
It seems that pornography and university sports don't go together. A football team at the University of Kent has been told they can't wear shirts sponsored by PornHub.

However, as The Tab reported, the team had just jokingly put a makeshift PornHub logo on a shirt after a sponsorship deal fell through.
But then last Friday the real PornHub, always keen for a PR opportunity, got in touch to say that they would sponsor the team.
The University of Kent sports department would never sanction sponsorship of this type – it is totally inappropriate.
The team has been spoken with and will not be allowed to wear the shirts in question at any time.
We take this issue very seriously and inter-college sports teams, which are the responsibility of Kent Sport, must present any potential sponsorship and/or logos for approval.
We are struggling to see why they are having a problem. The university cricket team are sponsored by Kingfisher, which is also an age-restricted product...
In my opinion the decision is made my people in Kent Sport that are out of touch with what's socially acceptable.
