The NBA is contemplating the idea of putting ads on their uniforms. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is at the forefront of this debate, with his ideology being, if you can get the money, why not? But purists like myself appreciate sports and its history, and look back throughout the decades at leagues not having ads on their jerseys. They've decked the walls, the concourses, littered the programs, spammed our TV's, covered our billboards, and the last untapped pure spot in sports remains team jerseys. If the NBA goes the route of the WNBA, which has numerous teams selling the front of the jerseys off to the highest bidder, this could have a trickle down effect that changes the visuals of sports and the bonds we have with our team's identity. Does the idea of putting ads on NBA jerseys or any of the other major leagues (MLB, NBA, NHL) bother you? 22 of the NBA's 30 team reportedly are losing money so this would be a great way for them to get some big time bucks, but at what expense? Do you want to look back 20 years from now at pictures of NBA players like Kobe Bryant with ads on the front of his uniforms? What is this Europe! So we ask you: Do you care? Would it bother you? Would you protest the idea of it? JuicedSportsBlog.com SUBSCRIBE!
