Interesting Comments by Colion Noir About Ad Banned By NFL

Personally I'd allow that commercial on the grounds of free speech.
The commentary is full of words I'm not allowed to use here and that turned me off. But comparing weapons that can kill many people in a few seconds to the risk of injury to one person in a football game or comparing the risk of killing many people to sexually provocative half-time shows?
The OP does not find that ridiculous? Well, to turn it around, you don't find ridiculous my referring to you know who as the demon-spawn offspring of satan in the white house now trying to turn the usa into a home for evil and degeneracy?

As any discussion about gun rights continues,the
probability of making it about penis size approaches 1.

It's short.
Ten people could watch it in the time it would take me to paraphrase it accurately.
Personally, I think private organizations like sports teams have the right to decide what they want to broadcast. But the guy has some very good points about corporate hypocrisy.

But it isn't Joe-citizen's call to allow it or not. If I'm not mistaken, it's the network, the stations, and the NFL who have the last word on what does and does not get aired on their programs. Just like any other business that can disallow using its facilities to promote this, that, or the other thing..

If'n you'd quit look'n in other guys' drawers,
you might could see more than penises.
I like his message and I think it is spot on. You can pile this onto the every growing pile of NFL hypocrisy.

So why is rejecting ads for arms manufacturer Daniel Defense hypocritical; a rejection that's now 7 years old?
And if you really care, here's the skizzy on it all from Wikipedia.
"In December 2013, Daniel Defense was involved in controversy when it submitted an advertisement to several local Fox stations for broadcast during Super Bowl XLVIII. The stations rejected the advertisement, citing NFL advertising policy which states: “Firearms, ammunition or other weapons are prohibited; however, stores that sell firearms and ammunition will be permitted, provided they sell other products and the ads do not mention firearms, ammunition or other weapons.” Daniel Defense responded to the rejection by criticizing the NFL's policy and Fox's decision, asserting that its ad did not contain any firearms, and that it also sells outdoor equipment, not only firearms, and accordingly falls within the exceptions in the policy. The NFL responded to the claims by denying any involvement in the rejection of the advertisement, but it did confirm that its policy does ban advertisements with firearms in them and in the end the advertisement was not accepted."

That's because it's propaganda from the National Russian Association (NRA). Completely corrupt bunch of people.

That's not how Free Speech works. lmao
If @shmogie wanted to place a "Make America Great Again, vote Trump in 2020" sign in your front yard, would you "allow that commercial on the grounds of free speech"?
I'm pretty sure you'd dive on property rights straight off.
I feel the same way about TV advertising. It's private property and the owners don't owe anybody support for their opinions. I agree with the guy, sports teams sell advertising for all kinds of questionable things. That's the problem with a free country, even people you despise are free.

They still have to have a license to broadcast on the public airwaves. If they allow one type of advertisement, say a political ad by Bloomberg against firearms, then by all rights they have to allow and advertisement that support firearms.
Who gave you the right to tell private broadcasters what they must do?
You're sounding like @tytlyf .

Not me the FCC makes the rules, all I was doing was giving my opinion, or can I not do that.
The FCC didn't decide whether or not this ad could or couldn't be aired.
As whatshisname pointed out, the FCC doesn't have a problem with much of anything, from softcore porno at halftime to beer commercials.
