| But they are being paid, they're paid a tremendous amount of money, and advertisements are where the money comes from. |

| He’s referring to jerseys sold to fans, not those worn by the athletes. |

| I understand they're being paid to wear their sponsors logo. I am not. |

| ▲ | tialaramex 8 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | For sports shirts the advertising is literally part of the shirt design, if you remove all adverts with a razorblade now you'd wasted a lot of money on a shirt with huge holes in it. A friend of mine used to do this with products that self-advertise when he was younger (I notice his Tilley hat is unmolested, presumably he had now stopped), but it doesn't really make sense on say a reproduction football kit. | |
