They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.
It's always amazed me why people show much interest in a club's sponsor. My interest begins and ends with the financial contribution.
TBH, I'm old school and I see advertising on the jumper and the field as an intrusion. In fact it disgusts me the level to which we've allowed it in Australian sport. We even have a logo on the ball FFS!
Watch 2 hours of sport in Australia and you watch 2 hours of constant advertising. It's a disgrace that the ACMA allow it.

"Old school" would mean that our footballers would have full time jobs and have football as an interest with very little wage...
Is that what you really want??
All clubs need sponsorship to cover costs, and you really don't expect them to fork out large sums of money without adverts on jumpers.
Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!
Predictable responses.
Football clubs cost $25m+ to run per year because we've chosen to run them as $25m+ operations.
I have no problem with advertising provided it's not part of the game. That's why I don't care who it is that's sponsoring us - only what it's worth. I feel no loyalty to a sponsor because they are making a business decision to use our football club for exposure. I congratulate them on their taste but it doesn't make me feel like I should automatically become a loyal purchaser. Others obviously feel differently and good luck to those that do.
St Fid, as for your question, no I don't expect footballers to be amateurs. Football generates too much money to not pay the main participants.
My comment on being 'old school' is in relation to preserving the integrity of the sport.
I guess I should count my blessing and be thankful the AFL haven't turned the field into a NBL court. We at least have some restrictions.

Granted it's more expensive but each team only gets 8 home games/year.
You would probably find the TV rights would be worth considerably more with clean stadiums and outfits. It might not offset the total $ income from individual club sponsorships but it would offset some of the difference.
i dare say the size of the market has a lot to do with that. compare the 20 million australians of which each club can get about 25-30,000 members to the size of the US of 300 million and you have a lot more potential to raise revenue through memberships, merchandise (which has a large global component compared to AFL), tv rights etc... they end up not needing sponsors. sure, the US in turn have greater costs, but it is still not in the same league (boom boom) as australia. Australia being much smaller just doesn't have the scale and leverage of such a marketsaint66au wrote:Unless I'm very much mistaken there are no advertising logo's on NFL or MLB on-field gear??
"The line 'I'm a mad St Kilda supporter' is one of life's great tautologies, because sanity has never been a requisite to follow the fortunes of the red, white and black"
NFL teams don't have memberships they have season ticket holders. The number of games means seats are a premium, but most stadium income is through corporate boxes rather than attendances. Many buy season tickets simply to have first dibs on a seat and sell the ticket when they're not going. Check out most games on stubhub (official ticket broker) and you'll see the face value of seats isn't that expensive (other than prime seats). For an 8 game package it isn't that expensive for a run of the mill seat (this week's Saints game (http://www.stubhub.com/new-orleans-sain ... _id=380578)
The NFL survive on massive TV rights deals and those broadcasters insist that the stadium be free of advertising. The NFL are control freaks and don't miss an opportunity to make $$$'s (they even regulate that coaches must wear NFL apparel), so if they thought stadium advertising would mean a net gain in revenue I'm sure they'd do it.

I for one don't mind the logo if the prices are reasonable...
Here are the NFL prices....
