On a previous blog post, I wrote about how the Reese's sticker on the basketball court made a player slip, turnover the ball, almost hurt himself, and almost lose the game. The other night I was watching a Red Sox and Blue Jays baseball game at Fenway Park in Boston. The first baseman on the Blue Jays Adam Linn hit a shot down the right field line and it was heading towards "Pesky Pole," the right field foul pole, and it was ruled a home run, three-run homerun. After later review, the call was reversed. There are three yellow foul lines in different positions because of a Scotts lawn care advertisement on the padded wall.
Are companies and/or sport organizations going too far in letting companies advertise in a stadium or coliseum that change the aspects of how the game is played?
Here is a link to an article written on this dilemma.
