Advertising in Sports

Advertising is sort of a necessary evil. Honestly, I think advertising in many ways can be a good thing. It is really what allows us to watch sports so I wouldn't go so far as to say that it has destroyed sports. If it weren't for ads then you wouldn't ever get to see games on TV. I think what is really the problem in sports is the huge salaries. This is what creates the primadonnas and creates media frenzies about a player maybe even before the enter the pros. As far as excess, there is some advertising that seems like a waste of money. Does Bud really need another commercial to sell beer? Does Coke need another ad to sell coke? But I guess they can afford to do to it.
