OT: Ads coming to NBA jerseys...

[Froob]

Take that back RIGHT NOW.

If we want to talk about overrated shows, this begins and ends with Friends. Never should be mentioned in the same sentence as Seinfeld.

What if the sentence is "Seinfeld is better than Friends"?

"Getting mouth raped is better than getting butt raped."

Shouldn't you be on a ledge somewhere?

I should probably google this but I'm lazy.

I don't know who I would dislike more:
The league and owners for allowing this or the pharmaceutical and medical insurance companies who would actually fork over tons of money to advertise.
Screw you, Optum Health.

I don't fault finance guys the Wall Street types for being ruthlessly greedy. That's in their DNA.
I fault health care companies for acting like they care but value profits over people.
I cringe when I see GI medicine commercials aired during the Super Bowl or an OPTUM sign in the Gillette scoreboard. Those costs are dispersed to the other the patients. It just angers me.

Ads approved for NBA jerseys in 2017. Now the question is, will the NFL do it next? Fully expect it to happen. This crosses the line BIG time. Fans need to try to do something to try to not allow this to happen. I'll puke if the Patriots logo gets replaced with an ad on the helmet.

Look here: http://www.trbimg.com/img-55e87580/...-the-patriots-wont-cheat-for-a-while-20150903

See what's over the Patriots' logo on Tom's right shoulder? That's an advertisement. This is already a thing in the NFL.

 

[DaBronxPats14]

Pat's Uni patch should have a circle around it with a line going across it as a BIG F U to goodell* league* & their sponsers. Only patch I want to see is SB 51 Champions.

 

[Bourne Patriot]

Horrible news, and somewhat inevitable that the NFL will follow suit.

Soccer jerseys are ruined with logos, the ads are far more prominent than the team logo - which is disgusting.

 

[RobertWeathers]

One of my all-time favorites.....

Watch,"The Big Short" yet?

Greed is good........to a point.

Not quite the same thing...

 

[Bill Lee]

If it cuts down commercial time, sure.

HA HA HA HA HA!

How about naming rights to the team? I present to you the Dunkin' Donuts Patriots!

Maybe Dunkin's and Doritos can spilt the fees in half and go with "Dorito Dunkin's" or some such?

As said before, she's ridiculously hot.

Ridiculous, as in 'subject to ridicule'?

 

[RecoveringCowboy]

It's hard for me to dislike any of your posts with that signature. Julia Louis Dreyfus is ridiculously hot, even at 55 years old. She's also filthy rich so the slut in me gets turned on even more.

I might want to change my sig.....

Welcome to my ignore list, population one.

Yeah, right. I wanted one of the darker blue "practice" jerseys awhile back (probably quite some time ago, actually), and now they just look stupid with the ad patch on them.

I can't imagine why anyone would want this on their real, game day jerseys.

 

[denverpatsfan]

That's great. More money for the owners. I'm confident it will trickle down to me and my family at some point.

Aren't they all, quite frankly, the same?

It's all about the bottom line, at the expense of everything else.
