As someone who grew up watching hockey, I'm sad to report that it seems to be trending that way.
In the early 2000s, most of the commercial sponsors were limited to ads between periods, at least on Hockey Night in Canada. Those ads were for things like pickup trucks and beer. I do know that American broadcasts would have things like "the KFC power play," which was cringy.
I watched my first games in over a decade during the playoffs last year and was appalled by how betting odds and the associated apps had taken over both the ad space and the analyst desk.
My son will probably start getting into sports in the next few years, and I'm not looking forward to trying to convince him that no, we can't win $10k from FanBet or SportsOdds or GambleKing or whatever.
