> You have a barrage of ads

Right, because that’s a recent occurrence.

The number of ads on any sportsball program is actually sickening unless you are used to it. I don’t care about the commercials, it’s the ones you don’t notice. You might notice The Verizon Center’s instant recap cam brought to you by GoPro, “Go Be A Pro!”… no, it’s everything that appears on the screen at any single moment is branded and paid for you to see it subconsciously. Every helmet, mouthguard, clipboard, every everything everywhere all the time, no letting up.

I’m pretty sure that the level of advertising in sports is super unhealthy. I really don’t care that betting the game is an option or not.
