There’s a new sponsorship category for sports teams: disinfectants.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has made cleaning and safety a top priority as fans return to live sports and entertainment venues.

That’s why the Atlanta Hawks and State Farm Arena agreed to a multi-year partnership with Clorox Co. (NYSE: CLX). The manufacturing company will be the team’s first official cleaning and disinfecting product partner. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
