Make-Goods Eat Into November NFL Ad Sales Revenue, but Pricing Continues to Soar
The makegoods info is the important bit.
Hamilton cast singing the national anthem. The gutless wonders producing the Superbowl are trying to have it both ways. Good luck with that.
I'm hardly surprised. The NFL hates America.
Will they then lecture the football fans on what an inclusive nation this is?
I think most of us have DVR. If you MUST watch the game, just DVR it. Start watching after it's already an hour in. You can thus skip the uninteresting/objectionable parts, and be caught up by the end of the game.
Just occurred to me: I can’t remember the last time I saw someone, fan, wearing an NFL football jersey out and about. Used to see them all the time. At the store, gas pump, on the street, in the yard, at the mall. Can’t recall the last time I saw a fan actually wearing a jersey...
The only good thing I can say about Hamilton is that after the VP Pence stunt, I sold my tickets and made a $5,100 profit. Glad I could take some liberal loser to the cleaners.
we should DEMAND THEY CANCEL THEM just like the asses forced all the inauguration singers to cancel! Hitting them in the pocketbook doesn’t work anymore because they have an agenda, anyways if boycotting threats work you would see them canceling Lady Gaga and these buttholes. The football commissioner is making a statement using them because of Brady and the patriots coach supporting of Trump...the commissioner needs to be threaten! Nice words don’t work anymore with these anti-patriotism anti-America anti-trump pukes!! Get ready for an onslaught of nothing but stabs at Trump in this Super Bowl! It’ll be something we have never witnessed in the past Super Bowl’s ever!! I guarantee you somewhere there will be commercials slamming our president too! Mark it!!!
Do you remember, back in the Good Old Days, when football was an American sport?
They’re doubling down against us.
There’s always the mute button.
I won’t be watching anyway. I hope they have the lowest ratings of all time.
Oh please, I hope they do!
Sure, the honchos at USAA RE-THINK the advertising campaign.
Glad I'm not the only one that feels that way. It does look rather sad for a grown man to wear a sports jersey or shirt with another man's name on it. Seems rather emasculating. Gives the impression that the wearer is not manly enough on his own and needs to "borrow" manliness from somebody else.
A woman can make it work though. If a woman wears a shirt with my name on it, I might be flattered.
Not really.
From Nov, 2016...
The US vice-president elect, Mike Pence, was booed by a theater audience when he attended the hit hip-hop musical Hamilton in New York on Friday night and then had a message about protecting diversity delivered to him from the stage after the curtain call. ...
yawn. I’m not watching the superbowl, wasn’t planning to, haven’t watched one in at least five years
Good. Most of the country will get to see what an insipid, derivative “Glee” ripoff this purportedly historical musical actually is. Makes me think of a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade some years back, when PC was running fully amok. They prominently featured a bunch of people dressed as vegetables dancing around singing “Food, wonderful food.” Well, yes, people do eat on Thanksgiving, it does play a prominent role. However, the food isn’t the reason. Hamilton is like that.
