Bingo. It's becoming apparent that 'promotional materials' may have exceeded $100,000 in this case, and only an egotistical, wasteful shitbag would find that appropriate.
As far as the whole "you're not a fan so why do you care anyway?" thing, maybe this is a cautionary tale of what can happen when donating your money to a system with zero accountability. Have fun with that KS crap.
