Since the last post about this got deleted because it contained a X screenshot, hopefully this one actually stays for comment.

It seems like Call doesn’t care so much that the ad is advertising gambling and just doesn’t like that it features a woman without enough clothing on.

that IS a problem though, there’s no reason for advertisements that run on “family friendly” sporting events to be so sexualized.

Complaining that a gambling ad is not “family friendly” because there’s a scantily clad woman in it is kind of funny. It’s like if you saw a woman in a bikini stuffing anthrax into a mailbox and your immediate thought was, “That woman needs to put some clothes on! There are children around!”

i agree of course, both the message behind and the sexuality of the ad are concerning.

Horseshoe theory from progressive to puritan. Kind of on point with the team flair.
