MLB's disgusting Advertisements

Not bad enough that every Major league Stadium has used every inch of billboard, Fences, grandstands on posting advertisement - some stadiums going to so far as to erect Billboards behind the Outfield seats expressly for the purpose of Posting ADS on them,.   and now - They can project onto the Backstop and the Field and Behind the pitchers mound additional Advertisements and change them often , even several times an inning.

This year they went with Arm Patches ON THE UNIFORMS - that are paid ads .... and smartly put them on the forward facing sleeve of each batter - lefties . vs righties - they get to the tune of $7 to $8 million per team.   

NOW they have gone so far as putting ADS on the batting Helmets of ALL THE TEAMS - The AD is for a German Apparel Company that has "partnered with " MLB - you can read that as They paid MONEY to MLB to put that on all the playoff Helmets - both sides.  While not made public  - the figure is around the $15 - $20 Million mark - that will include the Playoff teams this year and next and ALL minor league teams for entire season. 

The Nike Swoosh has been added to all uniforms  - since 2019 or 2020 -  that is a 10 year deal worth $1 Billion Dollars. 

MLB in 2023 had a revenue of Over $11 Billion Dollars ...   How long before MLB uniforms look like Nascar Drivers race suits - with dozens and dozens of Advertisers on them - 

IMHO - IT's DISGUSTING !
