PHOENIX - Tempe-based home builder Fulton Homes said the company will run a new commercial titled "Stand" during the Monday Night Football game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Dallas Cowboys.
In an email, a public relations representative for Fulton Homes, said the ad is "dedicated to patriotism" and is a response to NFL players who sit or kneel during the national anthem.
Fulton Homes released a press that said CEO Doug Fulton is a strong believer in patriotism and wanted that to carry through to his company’s television ads for the 2017 NFL season.
“This ad is a progression of everything we’ve done over the years to honor our country, our veterans and our first responders,” Fulton said in the press release.
All eyes are on the Cardinals tonight as fans wonder what the team will do while the national anthem plays. The Cowboys have reportedly said the team has a protest planned.

Ummm..
We’re pushing into Wednesday...
I hadn’t seen it and didn’t see it posted. Thought it was worth sharing was all. It’s a great ad and likely won’t be the only time it runs. To me it showed that there are companies willing to stand up for what is right.
I also had an article from today, but it was from the AZ paper and couldn’t be posted. I got a notice when I previewed my post. Sorry though if I shouldn’t have posted.
It’s still supporting the NFL with advertising dollars.
ANY change now in the NFL is about money.
I was the LAST hold out and i’m done!
Dont be suckered!!
I would have cursed at someone for saying this even a month ago. But it’s quite obvious no change would be heartfelt.
Target is dying. Let the NFL die.
And i’m saying this after the jets actually WON and i missed it.
How bad is Miami this year?
You’re right.
Spend your advertising dollars elsewhere, I’m not watching the NFL.
Just another form of virtue signaling....
While still feeding the evil beast.
I don’t either Lurkin. I just thought it was great someone was saying that it’s not all about the protests, it’s about respect. I really didn’t even think about it still giving the NFL ad dollars, which is does.
I wonder if they’ll allow it to be shown - some mighty scary dudes behind this kneel cr*p...
I also think there are some pretty hard core people behind this take a knee thing. Antifa, BLM, who all knows?
After all that the racist, PC, anti-American, CRAP the National Felon League has done, they can run all of the “patriotic adds” they want. It won’t work because they have already demonstrated how they really feel. It also won’t matter because WE ARE THROUGH WITH THE nfl AND WE WON’T BE WATCHING ANY LONGER!
You have a point to make once you stop contributing to Disney, Comcast, Viacom, and AT&T.
What a great ad!
This company most likely has a contract that they are required to fulfill for this year’s NFL games...in other words, they will pay no matter what.
They took the opportunity to make their opinion known...and in no uncertain terms. Kudos!
I don’t contribute to them, but thanks for playing.
Too bad I will not be seeing it
Mr. Fulton, your ad dollars will be wasted on the NFL. If you are going to throw money away, give it to homeless youths and/or homeless vets.
If Fulton is so patriotic, why run an ad at all?
