Does it matter that the boundary line advertising at the MCG (and on level 1) is now a highly distracting, moving image LED light show promoting the game's wonderful sponsors?
I'm just basically trying to ascertain if it bothers anyone else out there that there is effectively continuous advertising during the football which takes my attention away from play against my will?
If I'm alone on this, that's fine, I'll leave it go, but wanted to put it out there:
- Does this enhance the game as a television broadcast?
- Does it make no difference?
- Does it make the game worse to watch?
Don't get me wrong, it's not advertising I have an issue with here, it the fact that it is projected on our screens to the detriment of the game as a spectacle.
It strikes me as a similar situation to the price of food at the footy - something that everyone hated but didn't think anything could be done to change it?
I'd be willing to continue following this up, but the respone here should be a good guide as to whether or not it's worth the effort.
Cheers
