They've been doing it in Europe because there are no TV timeouts in soccer, plus there's really no revenue sharing or salary cap to prevent teams from losing money. In the US, we get bombarded with TV ads during every stoppage of play. $5 million for jersey ads is not gonna make or break an NBA team. It's just greed, pure and simple.
Bettman came from the NBA, it's only a matter of time before they follow suit. I just hope the historical teams like Detroit, Toronto and Montreal refuse to do it. If Arizona and Florida need it because they are losing money, fine, but don't mess with the winged wheel. $5 million is not gonna make or break Mike Ilitch.
It's pure greed to the fullest extent. They just signed a $24 billion TV deal and are making record profits. But it doesn't matter because wherever there's a buck to be made, it will be amde. Signed, Wall Street bankers and corporate CEOs.
