Yet another example of how ads destroy culture. I hate that our society bends the knee to them everywhere.

Ads make the culture. Where would American sports be without ads?

[cwkoss]

Bit smaller and much less of a net-negative for society, IMO

[tristan957]

The NBA worked just fine when there weren't ads on jerseys, digital ads on courts, etc. This is nothing more than a ploy to enrich the owners and players who already make boatloads of money.

It would be an ad-less culture, pedantically. Sounds like a win to me.

Gotta support those $50 million salaries...

[banannaise]

Half of revenue goes to the 30 guys who own the legal entities, and half goes to the 450 guys who actually play the sport. I don't think the salaries are the operative problem, although yes, if revenue were to decrease, those would have to decrease too.

This is a good question that I'd like to see answered in an experiment over the next couple of years.
