For me it really taints the sporting event experience.

Some truck company advertises at me, maybe I shouldn't buy a truck, but if I give them my money there's a fair exchange and I get a truck.

Gambling companies just want suckers with poor impulse control, and they provide nothing positive in return.

> it really taints the sporting event experience.

The insane amount of advertising in general is about 75% of the reason that I dislike sporting events (even from when I was a kid) and don't attend or watch them.

duskwuff•5mo ago
It's not even just ad segments or sponsor logos anymore. Some sports networks will have representatives from betting agencies in their pre-game shows to talk about the odds.

Same here. I was reading how gambling sponsors took over the Premier League. Over half (11 of 20 I believe) have their logo on the front of match day kits; they will be banned next year.

I still find solace in National team competitions (and watching in person), the Olympics may have their sponsors plastered all over the city/region they take place in and on tv or streaming, but the team kits and playing fields are still mostly off-limits/highly regulated.

Based on my recent sampling, I'm unsure what's on-screen the other 12 out of 13 seconds. /s

More seriously... this shows just how insanely profitable online gambling is. Sports programming is generally the most expensive advertising to buy.
