   I think people simply ignore the banners and logos all around so its not that much of a problem

      They clearly don't, otherwise it wouldn't generate so much advertising revenue.

         On the contrary: it's because people ignore them so much that motivates those very same brands to constantly push harder, and more obnoxiously, each time major sporting events are on.

         Like, what-on-earth was Visa thinking when their sponsorship of the Olympics had all the food-vendors and merch sellers boasting how they were "Proud" to decline payments from customers unless they're using Visa-networked cards[1] - which demonstrates they just can't exercise restraint.

            You think they advertise more because it&#x27;s not profitable?
