While I understand what Doug is trying to get across here, I disagree with 
this comment. Sports should be no different than news. They shouldn't be 
superimposing TV ads over stadium ads. What if you were watching a 
performance on A&E or Bravo, only to have a Dunkin' Donuts ad on a backdrop 
behind the performance? No one would claim that was ethical, and the rules 
should be the same across the board.
