That's it. Have you seen hockey recently? All ads. Even the end zones and centre ice is ads. Not surprising Hockey Night in Canada is turning into ads.

Blue Jays games have seen a laarge jump in the amount of ads shown this year, too. It's all garish. Watching things on SportsNet is like torture for the eyes.

I don't even notice the ads on the ice and boards anymore.

I don't watch full games anymore because of all the visual clutter. I'll listen to the radio broadcast or just watch the highlights.

I'm sure they're working on a way to put digital billboards under the ice.

I mean they already do or could. They project the ads already.

True. It seems like Max Headroom was really a documentary. Like Idiocracy.
