Trying to get back into watching hockey but the moving digital ads overwhelm me. Anyone else? (lemmy.ca)

I am trying to get back into watching hockey again, but the digital rink board ads are making it surprisingly difficult. When they slide or flicker my eyes snap to them instead of the play, and I end up losing sight of the puck, especially when it goes behind the net.

I cannot tell if this is an attention or sensory issue on my end or if the broadcasts have simply become more visually aggressive.

For people who watch regularly: Do the shifting digital ads distract you too, or do you barely notice them anymore?

I am genuinely trying to enjoy hockey again but my focus gets pulled away every few seconds and I am wondering how others experience this.

Holy fuck. I loathe the digital ads. I cannot think of something more insulting to the fan base or stupid for the growth of a niche sport.

Let's see, the game is already difficult to track? Yeah, let's add motion in the background, ads on the glass, and... banner ads across the scoreboard feed at the bottom of the screen.

Bettman can eat shit.

I can't imagine the NFL pissing all over their premium product like this. I don't even like football, but they do a great job making it easy to watch
