    I've always thought the ads on the pro basketball unis in Europe look HORRIBLE.

    This is really getting you heated? Who cares. Won't change the product on the court at all.

    No, it's one 2x5 patch on the left shoulder. And in soccer, it's the WHOLE front of the uni.

    If you can care about the NBA, I can care about the joke they are becoming (and in some facets, are).

    I don't watch any live NBA games so I make sure to not give them money for watching their advertising.

    Soccer, it makes sense.

    Basketball, it's all about greed.

    Baseball is my first love. But I don't watch anymore live games, and only listen on the radio as it's a lesser used medium and I don't mind bumping them up. There is free radio to listen to the Mariners, so I don't give them any money, and if I can help it, don't buy products that they try to sell me.

    "Just when you thought, it was safe to think
    In comes mental piracy, and no
    What I'm looking for (for)
    Can not be sold to me
    I wish they all would stop trying
    Cuz what I want, and what I need, is and will always be free"

    If you think it's going to stop at that, I've got a bridge to sell you.

    Well, if it takes this much process to get the change enacted, we might not see more ads for a while.

    When they see the money coming in, it'll happen much faster.

    NBA acts on money. They don't think about the consumer. They may make you think they do, but they couldn't care less about the consumer.

    Remember the whole nonsense with Sheed and "both teams played hard." ??

    I predicted back then that the league was not only going to force players to give interviews against their will, it was also going to start dictating exactly what they said. "Both teams played hard and please drink Miller Lite, proud sponsor of the NBA!"

    Mark my words - it's coming.

    Im not a fan of advertising in this league with so many contracts for the nba and individual players. There is plenty of money already to spread around. With that said, IF, it helps maintain ( no more increases) or lower ticket sales, league passes, etc, then IM with Yuyuza, all for it.
    If it doesnt do anything for the fan other than try to get them to buy more pepsi, then fuck this idea with a 50 ft pole up a coal infested asshole filled with crab cakes....

    No company thinks about the consumer, except in terms of pigs going to market. Companies are practically by definition sociopathic, inhumane, exploitive, and cruel. We choose our hypocricies when we buy products and maintain moral stances on anything.

    I hate ads if I wasnt renting a room to someone that wanted tv I would still only have netflix. The thing that pisses me off about ads is every time I see one someone some where is getting paid for my inconvenience. And I especially hate tv ads because im paying to be fed this shit. Blazers jerseys have always been sexy but I will NEVER buy one with an ad on it.

    This could be really ugly. Definitely inevitable though, maybe having one of the richest owners will save us the indignity? Is Tom Peterson's still a thing? His mug on the Jersey wouldn't be too bad.
