It's even worse when the hockey players' white uniforms confuse the video effect algorithm into thinking the uniforms are part of the board and the algorithm paints the uniform with part of the ad. see https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/nhl-fans-are-already-fed-up-with-the-new-digital-board-ads-153359581.html https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/nhl-fans-are-already-fed-up...

Similarly I seem to remember Boise State football games resulting in glitchy first-down marker lines on TV - the blue field and blue uniforms make blue screening a challenge I’m sure.

  Similarly, seeing splashes of color on Eastern Michigan's gray field breaks my brain a little. It's like watching an old black and white film with only certain characters colorized.

What's crazy to me is that the NBA is banning a specific shade of cream from one team, on the basis that it may interfere with court keying in some locations, when several possible solutions are proposed in the article. But then the NHL is just like "hey, away jerseys are white and the ice is white and the boards are white and we really dgaf".

But over time, like everything else, people will get used to it, and we're not concerned at all whatsoever," Keith Wachtel, the NHL's chief business officer and executive vice president of global partnerships, told ESPN ahead of the season. Wow. That statement is dripping with contempt for their viewers. It sucks that these huge sports leagues have little in the way of competition.

Their spend billions to force their way into every aspect of people's lives, steal their attention, spy on their lives, sell their data, force malware onto their platforms, all so they can force people to think in a way they wouldn't ordinarily? It's truly dark, inhumane, mind control. Screw them. If I want your widget I'll come find it.
