    Lmao you can tell no one on lemmy is a baseball fan. This is a meme making fun of the most recent World Series coverage where for the first time they started showing this dumb “Shohei Ohtani is up to bat in X batters” graphic as you see there

        Sorry I’ll reiterate, this isn’t an ad. The graphic it’s spoofing is shown during the game and is relevant information to it. It was just a bit silly and pandering to people only watching for this one star player.

        I don’t know if you follow any sports but imagine if a soccer game popped up a little graphic saying “this star player everyone loves will be substituted into the game in X minutes!” Thats what’s being made fun of here

          I know. I watch american sports and I was just commenting generally on how many ads are shoveled into the viewing.

          I think my comment was misunderstood. I dont think an american sports ad popped up in front of someones dark souls game. It was just a general comment on how wild american sports ads are. Sometimes I watch NBA and even the replay cam is an ad.
