I am annoyed by sunglasses during an interview, but I think the sponsorship
is the culprit here.

Most athletes have learned to prop them on their heads during an interview,
"win/win". The sponsor sees his product; the audience sees the athlete's
eyes.

I do wear them when I exercise. There is a noticeable difference in the
amount of fatigue in your face when you don't have to squint from bright
sunlight.
