Lamont Butler is not taking the floor against Arkansas, but he is doing his part as a troll in the hours leading up to tip-off.

You know of the Razorbacks’ relationship with the chicken people, the Walmart people and bad NFL owners who will never win another Super Bowl leading the franchise. Butler didn’t get sponsored by the Dallas Cowboys or Tyson Dino Nuggets, but he did partner with Walmart and announced the partnership Saturday afternoon, right before Coach Cal’s homecoming.

Well, it’s a brand partnered exclusively with Walmart — actually a deodorant brand sold only at Walmart called W Antiperspirant Deodorant. But you’ll never convince me it’s not intentional, specifically including the Walmart logo in his advertisement.

“Much appreciated,” Butler wrote, tagging Walmart in the ad.

“Keep your pits fresh all day with W Antiperspirant Deodorant,” the official brand description reads. “Our W Original scent smells like a lemon tree, a crisp green apple, and some fresh mint got together and said “let’s get it.” W’s 24/7 sweat protection keeps pit stains at bay, while long-lasting scents ensure you smell great morning, noon and night. Our sticks are infused with Magnesium and Vitamin D to promote healthy underarm skin. And we did it all without parabens, harsh sulfates, or artificial colors– that’s W’s winning formula. Good for all skin types, but expertly formulated for men willing to break a sweat.”

Butler won’t be breaking a sweat against the Razorbacks, but he’s still doing his part to win the rivalry battle.
