#ANOTHER WORD FOR NOSTALGIA PRO#
True, I have continued to follow a few leagues while the entire pro sports ecosystem - on a global level, alas - has become a barely tolerable, sensory overload hellscape of in-game ads, virtual ads, “corporate partnerships,” “enhanced VIP experiences,” and thinly veiled encouragements for your 13-year-old son to pick up a gambling addiction. If the actual measures or their consequences suck, do not hesitate to say so - even when this encroachment is built into the miserable “grow the revenues game” system. Don’t hold your suffering inside just because the league and the capitalist world are animated by the need to monetize every available inch of the earth. So if it irks you, I say complain! Complain away! Get it off your chest. But remember that even that guy isn’t wrong, he’s just tiresome.) (Now, will I whine about it at Game 60 and Game 82, like those who complained about Brian Strait every pre-game through an entire season? No. I remember each of those additions, each of them sucked - I whined about them then - and this one sucks most of all, so I’ll unapologetically whine about it now. Just accept that everything will always be covered in ads and it always was, okay?Īs you might imagine, I have a different view. Like, if you complain about the latest in the endless litany of spaces that ads have encroached, apparently you’re a naive fool because you’re already rooting for a team that plays in a Arena/Garden and when they have a man advantage it’s a Power Play, etc. Just skimming Twitter - always a poor life choice - I’ve noticed a Backlash Against the Backlash to the addition of ads to NHL jerseys.
