Kayne West Debacle
I’m having a great time creating letters to send to your sponsors when you air the disgusting rapper Kanye West during the Monday night NFL game tonight. Your marketing acumen and management decisions are baffling.
It appears you didn’t learn a thing from the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction. Kanye West is a disgrace and your decision to provide him with a stage is nothing short of idiotic.
I’ll send you a copy of the letters and list of advertisers I and hundreds (thousands) will contact after your faux pas.
They should definitely punt....
I think the NFL's definitely the 500 pound gorilla in this case. They do what they want, the faithful will always follow.
Sigh...
On the up side, looks like we'll have some more free time on our hands.
What am I calling?
Let's imagine for a moment that Mr. West began reading scripture during his detour from the teleprompter last week. NBC would have cut him off within nanoseconds, and ABC would have definitely given him the boot from tonight's pre-game "entertainment".
Hope he opens to a rousing "Bronx Cheer"
Wait - wasn't there someone else announced performing that everyone was up in arms over a few weeks ago?
This makes two huge debacles for the NFL...
and oh, I'll still watch the game but I'll boycott the sponsors.
Repugnant Kanye dares call himself a Christian and then spout off some racist, ignorant comments. One minute on MTV, will let you know where this country is going.
Most players are not any better than some of the evacuees.
For my part, I'm just not going to watch. I know I'm only one man but if we all did this the NFL would have to acknowledge that perhaps they made a mistake.
I love FB but one game won't ruin my day/week/year
You noticed that too eh? I guess racism is a one way street.
Entertainment!
That's not what I call that crap....

I remember a decade or so ago when the people of Arizona voted to not make Martin Luther King's birthday a paid state holiday. The NFL retaliated by yanking the Super Bowl away from Phoenix.
But now it seems okay that Kanye West can make race-related comments that have no basis in fact whatsoever and the NFL gives him a "pass."
