I've long had issues with professional athletics ... not with the athletes or the fans or any of that, but with the Professional Athletic Organizations themselves (NFL, NBA, MLB, etc). I see them as corrupt, crony capitalist organizations that build their stadiums with wealth stolen from the people via taxes on land stolen from the people via imminent domain. They're a part of the "circuses" in the "Bread and Circuses" to keep the people distracted while the leviathan state slowly eats us.

Anyway, The NFL ... for the last couple of Super Bowels (yes I spelled it wrong on purpose) the NFL has run ads from MAIG supporting gun control.

2012


2013


This year Daniel Defense tried to buy a spot on the Super Bowel but were refused because the NFL are a bunch of leftard blissninnies married to the Demonrat party and their agenda.

The BS excuse given is here in their advertising guidelines (PDF at link):

5. Firearms, ammunition or other weapons are prohibited; however, stores that sell firearms and ammunitions (e.g., outdoor stores and camping stores) will be permitted, provided they sell other products and the ads do not mention firearms, ammunition or other weapons.

Daniel Defense's obviously evil and over the top ad supporting giving machine guns to children on Ritalin and letting them murder their little friends.

Note that nowhere in here am I demanding that the NFL be forced by law to stop running MAIG ads or start running pro-gun ads, so the first person that comes around here whining about the first amendment can just shut up now lest you look foolish. Yes, they have every right to dress all the teams up in rainbow uniforms, change all the team names to the titles of Noam Chomsky essays and donate all their profits to Earth First. But as customers we do have a say in what organizations we spend with the dozens of votes we cast every day with our dollars.
