This makes the most sense of all the responses so far, and I don't see anything wrong with it. The Villages owns a significant amount of commercial rental property both within and on the periphery of The Villages. What they seem to be saying with their rejection of Columbia ParCar as a sponsor/exhibitor at GolfFest is that their loyalties lie completely with the tenants in their commercial property. In that the Developer also owns the Polo Club, where the event is staged, they also have the right to pick and choose the exhibitors. All this seems to be simple economics, completely within the rights and consistent with TV business model, and has nothing whatsoever to do with freedom of speech.
