    More reason to not watch anything other than a Blazers game.

    Why would what is on a uniform have anything to do with you watching or not?

    BEcause the NBA is already a joke.

    I've said it before, if it wasn't for the Blazers, I wouldn't care.

    For all the hate this gets I doubt fans care in a few years. Look at Timbers jerseys; where's the outrage over the Alaska Airlines logo?

    Poor taste. It ruins the league. That crap should stay with soccer.

    Did you not grow up watching games on TV or playing the game?

    Nope. I just don't like the NBA. Sorry not everyone can like this precious league. It's a joke.

    Soccer: Barely commercials

    Basketball: Commercials every 3 minutes of game time, halftime, pregame, postgame, end of quarters.

    Yeah. NBA REALLY needs another avenue for revenue.

    That's fucking bullshit. And that's mild.

    Wow. I grew up watching the Lakers and Sixers and Celtics battle it out on TV with a basketball in my hands with hoop posters on my wall. Then at halftime and as soon as the game ended ran outside and played the game till it got dark. I am a fan of the game, pure and simple. They could wear garbage bags and I'd still watch. To each his own huh?

    Good for you. Don't belittle me about it. I don't have to like the league.

    If it reduces ticket prices and the cost of league pass, by all means go for it.

    If it just results in more $ for guys that are already too rich, fuck em.

    My post has nothing to do with you. It was about me and how it was ingrained in me as a kid.

    I've ordered LP broadband the past three years, and every year it has gone up substantially per team. And nothing has been done to address the farce that is NBA TV. Why the fuck do they black that shit out when it's on your own damn network? Regardless, if jersey ads can mean prices for LP don't go up and it reduces dumbass blackout rules, all for it.
