Meanwhile the NBA are thinking of putting ad patches on uniforms. Gotta grab those revenue streams... Enough.
Webster Guy Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 its so annoying. we have a policy in my family, refuse to buy anything that puts an ad in your face where it doesnt belong. case in point, last nite on canandaigua lake there was a big remax hot air balloon that dipped down ten feet from the water. an otherwise beautiful sight ruined by an ugly corporate logo smeared across it. listing my house in a few weeks, guess who i'm NOT calling to broker the deal. Nokia (sugar bowl), anything nike, tostitos college bowl, and travelers insurance ruining the yankee game being broadcast on the wall behind the batter. i refuse to use any of em. Nike included. If everyone did that they would back off. Im not alone.
reddogblitz Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 There's a gas station by my house that has gas pumps with a TV screen on them playing commercials. I don go there anymore.

There's no consideration of the fan experience at all. The only thought they give is to how many new ways they can fleece us.
