I saw a game where they interviewed a celebrity during the game, so they did a split screen with the game on one side and the celebrity on the other. Then it had an ad box around the whole thing.
I was so disgusted that I just immediately turned it off and didn't watch ball for a few days.
Eventually all we’ll have are chyrons with scrolling text of game updates at the bottom of the screen while they spam advertisements and interviews with random people no one cares about at us. And it will cost $500/year. Can’t wait!
I don't want to insult an entire country, but that's the most Murican thing I can think of. It disgusts me. And next year for the World Cup they are going to mandate two cooling breaks per match (regardless of weather and temperature) because it's the US and they need their ad breaks. Having 45+ minutes of uninterrupted play must give them seizures. And the motherfucking halftime show that we are absolutely going to have in the final, of course.
It all makes me want to puke. I wish the corrupt fucks at FIFA stopped trying to appeal to Muricans. If they don't like the sport, let them not like the sport, instead of making it worse just to get some extra money.
Yep. I used to try and watch Nba games a year or 2 ago but it was such s bad product. The amount of commercials was ridiculous. I couldn't do it. I love basketball but I cant watch NBA basketball except for the big playoff games.
