Open Thread: Graphics layover distracts during Spurs home game

Sponsor names and logos are superimposed over the players
There are many of us watching Spurs games through different systems.
Over the past few seasons, the regional game feed— first Fox Sports Southwest, then Bally Sports, now Fan Duel Network — has taken to laying sponsors names and logos over the hardwood as a graphic on television. Meaning, if you attend the game, there is no sponsor painted on the floor as they were in a more pre-pandemic world.
The issue is that the graphic doesn’t just appear as if it is on the floor, it is tied to the screen. So on occasion, the graphics are in the wrong spot, especially coming from a commercial where the standard court camera is not on the screen.
But what happens more often than it should is that the sponsor logos cover the players.
In the show below you can see the contracts of the black lettering over the white Clippers jerseys, the legs of Jeremy Sochan and Nicolas Batum, and Chris Paul’s head.

When the game is in motion, it is even more distracting, especially when the game becomes out of reach. It was all I could play attention to for the final two minutes.
It seems like it could be right out of a Will Ferrell movie:
I wish I had the solution. Probably big money to the technician who can solve it.
Or at least steady work in television.
