Detroit Sports Nation, what's good
0:10
I am Eric Vincent, your host here at the DSN News Desk, back again to chop it up with
0:16
you, the best fan base in the world. I appreciate you being here with me, because we just got a pretty big report, pretty big
0:23
but not so surprising report from the MLB, Major League Baseball, following suit with
0:28
a few more leagues and professional sports in which they will be adding ads to their jerseys
0:35
that's right they followed suit with the nhl the nba and i believe major league soccer is who
0:41
actually uh debuted it i believe in 2007 if i'm not mistaken um they will be following suit as
0:46
soon as next season adding ads to the helmets as well as the jerseys to help tinker with and
0:54
experiment the possibility of adding revenue uh which was something big that the commission wanted
0:59
to you know try out with the league i mean you see what it's done for other leagues i think he's
1:04
done a pretty good pop for the nba uh nhl i believe is done pretty well for as well um you
1:11
again i said this wasn't very surprising because you know the people in these positions are always
1:17
going to find something to adjust or boost up the bottom line which is their dollar whatever they can
1:23
do to get the bag higher and bigger is what they're going to do is this something that the mlb needs
1:27
to do no of course not last thing anybody was sitting here watching their player players play
1:34
would say you know what god only they just have more bounty logos on their jerseys and right on
1:40
the smack of their helmet that's what we really need no nobody was sitting at home thinking that
1:45
but again they not thinking about the fans of this they thinking about how they can get the revenue up and again i didn think that was a problem for the mlb but this is the things that they worry about you know you think they worry about other things that they can do to kind of make the sport better to
1:57
help show that the game is becoming more progressive but these are the ideas that they worry about um
2:03
i believe the san diego padres were the first team i believe last season they announced that they were
2:08
gonna have a partnership with motorola where they'll be the first team to actually put the
2:14
I don't want to say the first team to put logos on the jersey, but they were the first team to strike a deal in order to put them on the uniforms
2:21
Again, I don't believe the ads are going to be big. I don't think they're going to be overwhelming and overbearing to the point where it's going to be distracting while watching the players
2:30
It's just, why? It's just, why is it necessary? That's all we want to know
2:35
Again, when the NBA did it, when I first heard the reports, it was annoying to me as this money grab tactic
2:41
I'm like, this just seems stupid and unnecessary. But, again, I'm not going to sit here and act surprised
2:48
Whatever way they can do to tinker with the bag and see what they can do to get the revenue and the money up, this is what they're doing
2:53
You see a lot of teams and leagues progressing into these kind of things, whether it's ads on the jerseys, making gambling, you know, a worldwide phenomenon now and legal to where it's a point where nobody cares
3:04
As long as they can affect their bottom dollar, they're going to add on to it. Again, maybe that's just me, though
3:09
If you're annoyed by it, please let me know because I would love to share some of that same energy with you
3:14
Hit us up. Let me know down below in the YouTube comments. Do the ads bother you for the MLB
3:19
Again, they're going to be on the helmets. They'll be on the jerseys. I don't think they'll be too huge, but, you know, we'll see how you will react to it
3:25
Again, let me know down below in the YouTube page. Hit us up on our socials, Facebook, Twitter, and IG, all the above
3:32
