Are these slow moving pop up ads part of Gator Country now? Please make them stop. They are incredibly Annoying.
And with friends like that, who needs enemies? Seems like almost every website I go to now greets me with "It looks like you're using an ad blocker." Then it asks me to turn it off or (without telling me so) I can go somewhere else. (Or is it just me?)
I'd spike the ball, but then I'd have to explain a lengthy procedure on how to make life easy (without ads) on these sites. Took me a long time (more than it should have) to figure it out. For instance 24/7 kicked me out over and over... again and again, and they relented eventually. Lol... I changed nothing, they changed.
What's wrong with you folks? Commercials and Ad's, in fact American Advertising "Completes Me" as a person. Freaking wonderful. I mean look at the UF vs Houston National Championship - we literally had two situations where: Commercial break - then UF got the ball, shot, then Commercial Break - NO coach called time out. I mean lets do a TV commercial after every change of basketball possession! That's would be wonderful. You want to know why that game was so close - UF could not get in any rhythm because of the damn commercial breaks. And the constant game breaks fit Houston's style of play. I freaking mean that too. SUCKS!
If basketball is the subject, then I want to know why after the game CBS focused their cameras on the losers more than the Gators that won the game. They spent way too much time showing the losers and those players in disbelief and in emotional anguish. They should be ashamed of themselves... SEC... IT JUST MEANS MORE! Go Gators!
This post reminds me of click bait I see all the time on "news" sites. The headline reads that a coach or a network or whoever is suffering backlash for some decision or action. You would think that the coach must have beat up someone on the sideline, or the network had broadcast something obscene or pornographic. So you click on the link, and it's about nothing but people griping on X formerly known as Twitter or otherwise known as who cares. When did people posting on web platforms become headline news?
It would have been nice to see more of the winners' reactions, Gator player reactions... they earned it.
True, but does this kind of critique deserve the same attention on news sites as, say, an earthquake in San Diego?
You can say the same about commercial breaks for football. For me it's abuse of paying fans at the game. Last two football games I attended were a painful disjoined mess: the SEC Championship vs Alabama and one of the Rams home games whwn the grestest show on earth played. I'll never go again, even for free.
Thanks g8wayg8r. I'm with you. It's INCREDIBLE how the sports entertainment market, marketers, advertisers, the various TV, Cable, social media, or whatever you want to call it, are literally DESTROYING sports. Even if you go to the game, like you just posted, you can't escape these parasites. One must sit through endless delays. These people HATE the fan, and have no concern whatsoever over the integrity of sports. They are in league with all the sports management and ownership groups to suck every advertising dollar possible out of the consumer. It's a form of hyper out of control capitalism that beams constant NON-STOP consumerism directly through the eyeballs and into ones brain, ceaselessly and unending. They have turned us all into ZOMBIES! (Listen to "Tool" Vicarious for a clearer understanding). Critics of this post will say, well it helps fund (insert whatever they want to say here...........). I say Bulls*it. They are RUINING sports. This entire College Football abortion we have now is brought to you by these people. Money grubbing, corporate scum that don't care about the sport or the fan. It's a damn abomination IMO.
It's been happening for a very long time! It's what turned me off of pro sports in the late 80's and it has now fully penetrated college and every aspect of sports and entertainment. I'm still hanging on to being a lifetime Gator fan, but it's getting harder to stomach every year. There are some athletes that have bucked the trend a little and they still earn my respect. That's what I'm holding on to!
ublock origin is probably the best ad blocker extension, the full version is still available for firefox there is a ublock lite for chrome as the full version was removed (as it prevents google from making money from ads) I was a Chrome user for the last 15+ years and had to switch back to firefox recently, chrome became too much of a slog and removed too many necessary features oh, how relevant, breaking news https://www.reuters.com/technology/...illegal-online-ad-tech-monopolies-2025-04-17/
It’s Wall Street. The religion-level obsession with “ten percent more than last year” to satisfy “investors” (it’s really to enrich each other but they let us think we are playing along). It ruins everything it touches, it lowers the quality of everything we experience, touch and consume, along with the quality of life of the American worker because billions in profit are never enough. We need a billion more next year……
