English term or phrase: it sells
Professor Alan Bairner, of Loughborough University's School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, says footballers' success has led to a change of heart for automakers, some of which had previously preferred to be associated with a more traditional and up-market class of driver.
"Some companies in the past might not have wanted to be associated with footballers as opposed to a different kind of clientele," he says. "Nowadays, they think that{ it sells}, or helps to sell the car."
