I won’t really have an opinion on the superbowl ads. I won’t be watching.

I boycotted a lot. The one I remember is that stupid ad about the illegal alien mom and daughter for this retarded lefty lumber company. Forget the name but i wont ever set foot there. Home Depot, regardless of the illegals at the entrance...
To: nickcarraway
This whole theme is only related to Dems/liberals trying to pretend that they have moral superiority.
So now that they are the only remaining audience for NFL, it is just a “feel good” thing for them to celebrate their perceived righteousness.
IMHO

I’m sure they won’t mention the $16 million raised by Eric Trump in recent years for St. Jude’s Children Hospital.

It was 84 lumber.
Also, as I recall, Busch had an ad which was pushing liberal views on immigration, because the first Busch in America was supposedly hassled about being a foreigner. That was the whole nation of immigrants thing they were pushing.

because....they are hoping that we will give them a pass for supporting the anthem hating NFL Kneelers?

Rush said today that the nfl has experience a “structural drop.” That is multi-digits for 2 years running.
And I had no idea how much I was losing by giving my Autumn Sundays to a game.
I miss it, but like you miss a gf who was great in bed but cheated on you. A lot.

Many people forgot about “Open Border.” If it was pushed through in early part of GW Bush administration, the amnesty would have been essentially complete. It was stopped cold by 9/11. Vicente Fox, Mexican President at the time, became a bitter man because it was his main political objective. Bush was reborn as a anti-terror warrior, but Vincente was not able to make up for the loss. At least that is how it looked.

I've noticed this trend in advertising - both corporate and local - for several years. Everyone is touting how much they are giving to charity, how they are "giving back to the community," and words like "love" and "family" are ubiquitous.
Partly, I think this is intended to avoid left-wing shakedowns and lawsuits; also, it reflects actual leftist thought, according to which running a legitimate business is not a sufficient way of "giving back to the community," i.e., it must be supplemented by well-publicized acts of charity and community activism.
And it often becomes open advocacy of leftist causes, e.g., last year there was a local (Seattle) ad featuring members of the Seahawks and Mariners touting the gay/lesbian agenda.

Because there is a sucker born every minute.

talked to a buddy in the league yesterday- due to poor TV ratings this year the NFL owes its advertisers $30 million in refunds and the belief is they will not charge for some super bowl ads in return...

They would have been better off paying back. Why diminish the value of your highest-valued asset?
