Because of Commercials I've reached the point where I can
Jan 6, 2022, 8:39 AM

longer stand to watch a game live. I used to go to a lot of games but now just a few. I recorded the Cheez It Bowl and picked it up an hour later. Reached the end of the game at the same time it actually ended. Watching the same stupid commercials over and over was bad enough but we they started putting the PC commercials on, that was it for me. I hate being subtly preached to.

If I am at home and have a choice, I will record the game,

and watch something else until the game is about an hour in. That way, I can forward through the commercials, and will have caught up to live action by games end, or even before.

I go to a TV series on Netflix during commercials during the entire game.

2 Commercials I can't take anymore....

2. The stupid Taco Bell commercial with the ram horns.
1. Most annoying is the blonde in the Verizon commercial. Can she not stand up straight and keep her arms still? Clonking around like some goofball in heels.

with the Limu Emu and the 80's throw-back guy.
A close second would be the Aflac commercial with Saban and Deion Sanders or Jake from State Farm.

SPOT ON verner (and you too, 76)!!!
I will also say I possibly watch less than 1% or 2% of ANY television shows ‘live’ any more. We’ll start the show, but at the first commercial, we pause it, let the dog out to do her business, etc., etc. Then, when we have enough ‘content spooled’, we’ll watch it, so as to be able to fast forward through the rest of the commercials.
As for the ‘preaching’, don’t get me started on how many shows we’ve STOPPED watching because of the SJWs. . . .

I watch college football on TV and occasionally a golf tournament; none of the trashy shows. If I'm really bored, I pop in a disc of an old movie. No way I would buy anything from a commercial.

We buy unintentionally. Most ads out there are only to provide brand recognition. Why are there so many people the buy nasty Bud Light? Bud Light is all advertisement. They push the serve it cold because they know cold dulls the taste buds....but the ads selling popularity and a sexy but lifestyle get massive numbers of Americans to drink #### water.

Throw away your TV

Got rid of mine in 2016 and haven't regretted it yet. Some games I listen to on streaming radio. For bigger games I'll make it special by going to my Dad's to watch with the family. There is a beautiful world out there that is hard to find when you get sucked into the programming.
Don't feed the beast

show us how much insane amount of profits they are making.
With health insurance prices out of control, it makes me wonder.

at the game - hate to watch the TV guy stand on the field holding the 3 minute timer while I am burning up in the hot sun or being drenched by rain. I don't have to listen to commercials if I am home - can leave the room if I want or switch channels to check other games. Also I don't want to watch any sport if I don't see it as it is actually happening. No recordings or delays for me.
