Whilst i was visiting family in the US, i took the oppurtunity to watch a professional basketball game, it was a while back, January.

I'm not exactly a basketball fan, but the game was entertaining and i discovered you Americans really get into your Basketball.

My only gripe really was with the sheer amount of advertisements that were shoved down my throat during the game. I figured Basketball was a fast paced sport and would be quite exciting. What i didn't expect, was the sheer amount of stops/breaks/timeouts. Everytime there was a timeout, there was some form of in arena advertising campaign, bright lights blinding the fuck out of everyone and play would resume. I can understand the teams needing timeouts, but the officials timeouts? The ones which seem completely dedicated to "Oh shit theres been three minutes without an advertisement break, cut!"

I could understand product placement and advertisements during the breaks, getting some unlucky fuck to take shots at the hoop was entertaining.

I might not get it because i'm European, i'm not trying to entice a LOL EUROPE VS AMERICA thread and i did find the game entertaining, looking past all the advertisements breaking the game up.

Basically, where i'm going with this, is how the fuck do you put up with this shit?

Oh, i get the whole America/Advertising thing, America/Capitalism and all that jazz, but it seriously diminished the experience.

Don't feel bad, it was only because of the team you saw.

Whilst i was visiting family in the UK, i took the oppurtunity to watch a professional soccer game, it was a while back, March.

I'm not exactly a soccer fan, and the game wasn't very entertaining and i discovered you British really get into your Soccer.

One of my many gripes was with the sheer amount of utter boredom that was shoved down my throat during the game. I figured Soccer was a fast paced sport and would be quite exciting. What i didn't expect, was the sheer amount of NOTHING GOING ON. Everytime the ball was in play, it seemed like one had fallen down and complained until he was take off the field like a Pop Warner football player, the ball never even got close to the goal either. I can understand the teams not scoring, but 0-1? The only goal was scored on a "holy shit, I accidentally kicked the ball in the vague general area of the goal and it somehow went in.

I could understand a little scoring, but almost none at all?

I might not get it because i'm American, i'm not trying to entice a LOL EUROPE VS AMERICA thread but i didn't find the game entertaining, what with all the shitty offense.

Basically, where i'm going with this, is how the fuck do you put up with this shit?

Wrong team to watch if you want to see something entertaining.

The Warriors are one of the most fun teams to watch in the NBA
