    Default Daniel Defense's Rejected Commercial

    I saw a lot of guns in commercials for tonight's game. For the NFL to not allow a commercial that doesn't even show a gun is hypocrisy at it's best. The ads for FOX's show "24" zoomed in on the handgun so close you could see the round get chambered. That was like a gun commercial on its own. I also recall seeing a few M16s and other handguns in several other commercials too.

    While I do agree with private companies being able to do what they want with their own business, it seems there is a bit of a double standard when a baker has to make cakes for a gay couple, but the NFL can tell Daniel Defense "NO".

    Could we inquire as to what channel and even 'game' you were watching? Because I suspect many others didn't see anything "Pro-gun" dealing with the Super Bowl. Just sayin'.

    He was referring to "other" commercials showing guns, one that comes to mind was a commercial for that stupid "comedy" Brooklyn Nine Nine or whatever its called. Its ok to show guns as long as its for a sit-com but not for real life......sarcasm there for you that didnt get it.....

    I think it's quite telling that the NFL rejected Daniel Defense's ad but played Coca-Cola's multi-cultural bullshit ad.

    Frankly, DD was better off with the rejection -- I think they got more play for the commercial (especially with so many people starting to ignore the game as the blowout mountedl and it didn't cost them an arm and a leg.

    I don't remember exactly which commercial it was, but I remember seeing a soldier throw his M16A2 in the dirt and then start kissing a Vietnamese girl.

    That was the Axe commercial basically depicting dictators, terrorists and war images before revealing their evil looking intentions were in the name of love. Agreed Coca Cola's ad was an abomination. Except for Budweiser all the commercials sucked and I agree with the OP, definitely a double standard.

    Audi and Volkswagen had good ads.
