The NFL has taken a side in the cultural war. That side is in opposition to most of its fans. It should be punished for doing so.

“So with a 30-second Superbowl commercial costing about $4 million, exactly how was this company going to pay for it?
That’s easy — they weren’t because they couldn’t. They most certainly weren’t going to put ~30% of their annual revenues into one 30 second commercial.
No way, no how.”
