King Ralph, apparently, doesn’t like that MLB is a business. What a maroon.

MLB is indeed a business, and they can certainly put ads on the uniforms if they so choose. But it still sucks big time, for fans and for players.
So there may be a few complaints like Nader’s, but in 10 years I foresee that baseball players’ uniforms will look like those of race car drivers.
Good thing I don’t watch baseball.
Or car races.

You ever watch NCAA Bowl Games? Same deal, is NCAA football like NASCAR with uniform ads, I think not. I’m a huge baseball fan and I really don’t see the problem with it, further, Selig has already said he’s got no real plans to extend the program.

Ads on uniforms have been common for as long as I can remember in soccer leagues around the world. I think it’s because TV commercials are only shown at halftime during the game.
I don’t have a problem with it. I think it even adds a bit of personality to certain uniforms.

Some of the coolest jerseys in soccer and in NASCAR are the ones with enormous beer logos on them. I say bring on the ads. Now all I need to do is paint my car like Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s.
