Advertising in Sports

I honestly don't think that advertising during a sporting event is such a bad thing. That station, radio or television, has got to pay their bills somehow. That somehow is by selling ads. Without them the people who work on that station aren't going to get a paycheck and without them, you're not going to get to watch or listen to your favorite team. Advertisements are what keep this business afloat. Now some would say that there are too many ads during games because it seems as if they're always taking a commercial break. There is some truth to that statement. Baseball games for instance are 9 innings, a top half and a bottom half. Stations take breaks between each of those halves and at the end of each as well. Not to mention when a pitching change comes up. To me that's too many breaks. Stay with the game for a couple innings, give us a little extra info on what's going on in the game instead of showing the same bud light commercial for the nineteenth time. Now media coverage of certain teams, that's where most people get angry with sports journalists. With baseball it's the Yankees, basketball it's the Mavericks and the Heat and Lebron, football it's the cowboys, and on and on blah blah blah. Let's have some variety people. Show us the other teams and athletes. When you keep talking about the same damn players all the time like Lebron, D-Wade, Ladainian, A-Rod, and Jeter; yeah this crap gets old. Again variety is key if you want to keep the masses interested. Closing with the advertising of sports though, it's not that big of a deal. Cause without it, we'll have a big deal on our hands, sports on television and radio will cease to exist.
