Commercial breaks in sports are better than ads all over jerseys and the stadium (self.opinionhavers)

Nobody likes ads.

But having ad breaks you can ignore, or grab food or drink during, or have a chat with a friend during, is way better than having ads all over jerseys and the stadium at all times. It's also such trash companies, like airlines from middle eastern dictatorships, credit card companies, and gambling megacorps. Just fucking garbage slop that you're staring at all game and in every promo photo of players and wearing yourself if you buy the jersey.

People are dressing their kids in gambling jerseys or Amex or fucking Etihad Airways! That's psycho actually.

Meanwhile, yeah, again, ads suck and therefore commercial breaks suck too, but as stated you can ignore them, mute the TV or whatever. And you can just get a jersey for your kid that is normal, just the player's name and the logo of the actual team.

The only semi-cool jersey ad is for that one that's an Ed Sheeran tour. That one is almost as awesome as commercial breaks.

Always find it funny when you people think there's a choice. As if it's an either or scenario as opposed to inevitably both.

Not a choice unless you want to follow a different sport, but there is a difference.
