All of the ads are either for gambling, ed pills, or colonoscopies. It’s atrocious.

Reddit learning baseball viewership's primary demographic is old men. These commercials also play on sports talk radio for the same reason.

One of the huge perks of watching womens sports. Yes there's ads, but it isnt the same gambling, ed pills, or colonoscopy commercials. Ive noticed a stark contrast currently watching the wnba finals
