As we enter Week 3 of the season, it appears the Protect College Sports Act has gained significant momentum and could pass soon. If you're like me, the biggest benefit of the act's passing is that you won't have to see any more commercials about it while trying to watch football. Considering I cover the sport, I should probably care more about the PCSA than I do, but I've never been big on the minutiae of rules.
Just tell me what they are, and I'll go from there. That likely puts me in the same camp as many of you reading this, because I see the numbers for what gets read or watched and what doesn't. Another thing we can probably agree on?
How little any of us want to see campaign ads of any type. Honestly, they've practically become a part of the college football tradition at this point, seeing as how the season coincides with campaign season across the country. But while there's no escaping them, surely we can put our greatest minds together to figure out ways to distribute them more efficiently.
I live in Illinois, north of Chicago. That House of Representatives seat that's up for grabs in Texas? Yeah, I don't really care about that one person's voting record!
I don't need to see that ad every 20 minutes! There has to be a way to show the ads where they're relevant. Let me watch the same ads for a beer, a sportsbook, a fast-food restaurant, or a sporting goods store instead.
Hell, give me nothing but Fansville commercials! But if it's going to be a campaign ad, limit it to campaigns I'm allowed to legally vote in. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and now for matters far more important.
