I'll watch the Knicks, but I won't watch the rest of the NBA....Greed!!!..If Jerome James and Fishlips can get 30 million dollar contracts, then there is plenty of money in the NBA..If Melo and Amare can be paid 20+ mil per, then there is plenty of money in the NBA..The rest is just Greed...I'm done...I was a huge NFL fan..I watched football all day Sunday and looked forward to Monday Night Football..They saturated it by adding Sunday Night Football and now Thursday Nights..Greed..I rarely watch other games..Just the Giants and the playoffs...How many boats can one man jet ski behind??...My cable bill sky rockets as a result...This goes a bit deeper with me...Can't get into it here...County taxes have no ceiling...New school buses almost every year??...State of the art fire stations??...I have never seen a fire house with 6 bays until I moved into my hood...My taxes keep climbing...Greed!!!...

Why do you even care? Personally, I think that professional sports is a leech on society (tax payer money sponsoring private profit) and that it should be socialized to instead benefit the community they operate in. Still, I don't get why ads on jerseys would be the breaking point for you.

Holfresh cares because at the end of the day, aren't we just rooting for the laundry?

I think it would be wack, but I'd probably just get used to it. English Premier League is the precedent. Knicks already slap the Chase name and logo on everything else.

When I went to the UK, I couldn't bring myself to buy the club uni's for my kids..I bought the England's World Cup uni's which of course doesn't have ads..

This is going to be a prime example of the pot calling the kettle black but why are you so goddamn pissy? Answer my question, so that maybe I could understand your point of view. I don't see how ad's on jerseys will lead to the destruction of America.

The only problem I have with the idea is the jersey design. I've seen some of the professional hockey jerseys and they look cluttered. I'd have a hard enough time rocking a short sleeve jersey. I'm done if they throw in giant Mountain Dew and Toyota patches on the back and sleeves.

I know what you mean. You'd think they would sell gear that just featured the club shield for the traditionalists. I won't say I'm all Naomi Klein No Logo in my life — in my closet I have a Polo logo here, a Adidas logo there — but I hate feeling like a billboard for something I don't necessarily want to promote. I agree, it just seems so greedy, because it's not like it's a Little League team sponsored by a the local pizzeria, they get millions of dollars in tax breaks.

Hey, sometimes it's a good match:

West Ham & Doc Martens

Brighton & Skint Records (Brighton Sound music label)

But all roads lead to the eventual financial company sell-out:

In layman's terms, I understand it's a business and my attachment to the game is of pure love for the sport...If you are going to remind me constantly that it's a business and you are milking it for as much money as you can then I won't support your effort doing so..

The "destruction of America" was hyperbole. The point is that I don't get how ads on jerseys lead to higher county taxes.

Even so, I don't think that ads on jerseys are such a sinister thing especially when you juxtapose it to the NFL and NHL holding nonprofit status, public money going toward building stadiums, etc.
