"It's like they can't watch a hockey game or football game without constantly being reminded of opportunities to gamble."

That's the whole point of gambling advertising. The spokespeople saying "just our logo on the court isn't that harmful, it shouldn't count" but they know it's really about getting people the impulse to gamble and from their site, and the more they show it the more it will imprint on people. If it didn't work like that they wouldn't be showing those.
