NFL Hypocrisy
December 2, 2013
“A Super Bowl commercial by Daniel Defense, a gun-selling company based out of Georgia, has been turned down by Fox due to the National Football League’s policy.” But what NRO did not point out is the NFL’s hypocrisy. Here is the NFL, worshiper of all things military, refusing to show a commercial from a gun dealer. The NFL goes to great lengths to promote the idea that soldiers and Marines who invade, oppress, and butcher people who don’t threaten Americans are defending our freedoms, but then then won’t show a commercial from a gun dealer that doesn’t even display a gun.
