As mentioned we don't choose exactly what ads to show, according to Google they choose ads based different things, one of them being the content of the site the ads are being displayed on. So Google figures dating sites would appeal to a site full of sports fans.

Also as mentioned you can opt to not see particular ads. Click on the X on the top right of the ad and it'll give you the options, the link above also gives more information about that. I'm not sure if you have to be signed in to a Google account in order for those opting out choices to work, or if they store a cookie on the computer to accomplish that. If opting out doesn't work then that's also something controlled by Google that we wouldn't have any control over.

It is an interesting point though, Bingo handles the details of the advertising so I don't know exactly what kinds of options are available in terms of guiding Google as to what ads are presented, but I'll bring the thread to his attention.
