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.

This is America- Massive violence in movies and TV? fine. Gambling ads everywhere? Fine. Show a nipple for 0.5 seconds on national TV? Massive controversy.

You have a torture porn addiction if you think all the horror movie ads are normal or reasonable to show during football games kids are watching.

Good thing I didn't say anything about horror movie ads. 

There's online resources available for porn addictions

There's no online resources for torture porn addiction.

So, lets ban the one ad that has you up in arms from anything but late night TV and also ban the hundreds of horror movie ads that scare the hell out of little kids trying to watch TV during the day.

I proposed banning both from daytime tv. You have nothing but personal insults for me. That's just weak. Defending your position is novel concept but try it sometime.
