If anyone understands the importance of advertising, it's us. But it's
still deeply frustrating to go to The Sporting News to
read this article and have an ad literally cover the page and no way to get
rid of it. Whoever thought of this has really miscalculated, because it's
so aggressive and so annoying that there's little point in reading the site
anymore. You should have the option of ignoring ads if you want to. The
point of this, clearly, is to deny you that privilege, but our guess is that
most people are just going on to ESPN or somewhere else. Who needs the
aggravation?
