Monday Night Football Extravaganza!!!

I really hoped that the whole world had a chance to see one of the two football games last night. But unfortunately that is not the reason why I am writing today. The main reason I am writing is because of the PSA (public service announcement) that kept playing through out the commercial breaks.  You might have seen it… it goes a little something like this… You might have taught him to throw a baseball, you might have taught him to catch a game winning touchdown, but did you teach him WHAT NOT TO HIT A WOMEN??!

WOOOOAAHHH!! wait a minute??? Did I ever what?  haha

Man that was a crazy commerical. What a perfect time to hit the audience of big beefffy men who are watching a football game with a beer in their hand while yelling at his wife…. UMMM i don’t think so.

While I understand why the PSA needs to be out there, i found it a bit insulting because it was talking to me… a man who likes to watch football. And trust me… i do understand the situation, and i know it is a serious problem but my issue: I better see that same commercial during a tennis match, baseball game, or a LAX game. I think directly pointing at people who watch or play football was totally the wrong direction.
Sure the game of football is full of aggression, but I still think it is the wrong idea to play the PSA at that time and ONLY that time.

Community, Let’s start a conversation!

Sure, it’s insulting if done only during a footy game (I assume you mean American cus to me your watching Rugby) but let’s face it; that is a stereotype. Stereotypes exist for a reason, generally because that is what the subject is famed for.

I am disinclined to argue with the ads position because I live in the UK with thousands of football louts and, regardless of the game variant, these people do gravitate towards football and booze.
