1) This reminds me of the FIFA docuseries on Netflix. It takes us through the history of the game, how it had zero sponsorships and ads for the first century of international play, but then in the mid 1900s it turned into one of the most commercialized and corrupt sports leagues in the world.
2) Small rant: The worst part of the baseball postseason has been the green screen ads behind home plate, which interferes with where the batter stands, so it looks like hitters are cosplaying Timothee Chalamet wearing his shield armor in Dune.
Perfect example, FIFA is insanely corrupt but everything has a price. To your second point, it’s gotten to the point where you are trying to decipher if an ad is part of real life or just something you see on the TV. Same issue in the NBA.
