NASO Letter to Buffalo Wild Wings

[ODJ]

Didn't NASO also send a letter to Subway for the ad where the white hat admits he blew a call, but not to worry because "we'll even things out later"?

How about the Bud ad with the HL getting screamed at by the coaches, then cut to his wife doing the same thing at home (no change of expression). Where's the letter for THAT one? Invasion of my privacy!!

I would not call myself offended, but I would not call myself pleased either. I did find the commercials funny on some level, but to suggest that this does not perpetuate a stereotype is also not accurate in my opinion either. Believe it or not, when people think you fit a stereotype (whether it is for officials or any other group), they treat you differently. And in many ways this stereotype is at the root of many of our problems and confrontations we have. If the average public realized how absurd their claims about officials were, they would stop repeating them. I see NASO's point, but I do not know if calling for an apology is going to solve it either.

Mike Pereira said he stopped eating at Subway after they came out with a commercial in which a football official admitted to cheating. I believe this is the commercial.

YouTube - Subway Commercial -- Referee

That commercial is different than the BBW commercial. I don't think anyone actually believes that officials cheat after talking with people in a restaurant. The Subway commercial implies that officials actually are cheating.

We should all get coupons for free beer and wings to compensate us for our emotional suffering!

Please do not give me any coupons to Buffalo Wild Wings, maybe Hooters. At least their food is good.

Peace

Here, here. I vote for Hooters also!

I'll eat at Subway more to compensate for Pereira.

I'm hoping you mean BWW and not BBW, as written.
