All of those things are symptoms of the real problem; the professional sports organizations (NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB). These guys call all the shots regarding who gets to see what and when and how much it costs. I've never seen the LA Kings play because I live on the east coast and the NHL doesn't allow their games to be broadcast here. They are greedy and restrictive and the primary cause of sport broadcast woes.
I have another bone to pick with them as well. They've chopped up professional sports and sold it to the advertisers. Fucking everything in a sports game has a company's logo on it. I went to a baseball game the other day and Home Hardware was sponsoring the field clean up crew. Are you kidding me? The fucking field janitors are wearing logos now? They ran out of things to stick ads on so literally anyone involved in the game in any capacity is wearing a logo. Baseball has turned into a thin excuse to serve ads to people.
- jblow 11y agoNo kidding. I was trying to watch some soccer games in England last month, and it was an exercise in having to fight through the flashing+animated ads around the entire field. I don't think I will ever try watching one of those matches again.
