Fair point. The exact same thought occurred to me.

Re: NFL rejects veterans group's Super Bowl ad urging people to stand for the anthem
I took off of work for the Super Bowl and really would like to see it. But if the NFL is going to do stuff like this, then I have no problem popping in my copy of the Saints/Colts SB and just watching that. I think, unless they change their minds on this, they can expect low ratings. Probably the lowest ratings they've ever had for a SB. If that happens, then Goodell and the front office are going to have to do a lot of soul searching this offseason.

I think the ad was intended for the Superbowl Program, not a commercial. Which would still be expensive, and, apparently, must contain a message the league approves of.

"It's never been a place for advertising that could be considered by some as a political statement," McCarthy told Army Times.
Well, except last year. (I can only take so much hypocrisy) |
