First off, my typing 200 instead of 300 is a typo. Second, why am I not surprised that you focused on the typo and the entirely missed humor of the absurdity of an official firearm of the NFL?First off, Bushmaster, nor anyone else makes, a 200 AAC Blackout. No such caliber.(it's a 300 Blackout, I am the caliber police)
No, the NFL isn't playing to the hysteria at all, it is ignoring it and refusing to take part in it.

Of COURSE the 200 vs 300 was a typo. I knew that. Which is why the smiley face and joke about "caliber police", a reference to the "spelling police" that is often gone on about in here.
How about Kim Rhode doing commercials for her favorite shotgun or ammo? I would consider that positive advertising. It has NOTHING to do with violence. She is a FINE model for young women. She is one of the best in the world in her sport, for a couple of decades. Yeah, I can see where that would hurt the NFL.
Link in case you don't know who she is:
Kim Rhode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If anyone does he will probably be one of them.

It may well be "positive advertising" for the shotgun or ammo ... but it might not considered to be for the NFL, by those who run it.
In your mind ...
I rather doubt that you can.
"In your mind ..."
Violence against a clay disk? What in the world are you talking about? How many champion skeet or trap shooters have been arrested for murder? Any? Are you suggesting that ANY form of shooting is a "violent" action? I don't understand what you are driving at.

No, it doesn't have anything to do with violence. Neither does gambling or contraceptives or energy drinks or gentleman's clubs or escort service or fireworks, but they don't allow those advertising, either.
So is Amber down at the Dix on Chix All-Nude Nudie Nude Nudes Bar and All You Can Eat Buffet. Although she hasn't been at it for a couple of decades, she's still world class.
Kim Rhode advertises her favorite shotgun during the Super Bowl, then later that night in a totally unrelated incident at the trailer park, Bubba Ann shoots and kills Bubba with the same gun because Bubba has been cheatin' on her for years and she finally had enough. The local TV news reports the brand and model of the shutgun and someone goes, 'Hey, that's the same shotgun they advertise during NFL football games!" It gets picked up on the national news and on anti-gun Blogs, and before you know it, if it wasn't for that Super Bowl commercial Bubba would be alive today. Yeah, I can see where that could hurt the NFL. They simply choose to not let that be a possibility.
Yeah, happens all the time, many Bubba Ann's that live in trailer parks go out and buy $13,000 Perazzi shotguns. Get them down to the Wally World do they? I would even bet that MOST of the Bubba Ann's that buy Perazzi shotguns buy multi tube sets too.
YOU can go to that place on Dix, NO WAY would I ever go there. They have viruses there that are over 6' tall!

I TOLD you, I am BORED!
We could tell.
My hunting is likely done for the year, I have NOTHING to do but bother people in here.
Derailing threads to discuss what interests you instead [the safety of organized shooting sports isn't even remotely connected to the subject] gets really, really annoying to those who were discussing the subject proposed.
Nothing better than an argument over nothing to kill a lot of time!
Then you should start threads for that, instead of hijacking the ones you're not interested in.
Because the people who were discussing something don't appreciate the takeover when they have something that's actually relevant to add, but it's no longer close to where it would make sense. Because you were bored, and it's all about you, apparently, rather than what other people are interested in discussing.
Which is a better example for young girls? A woman who is a total loser at her sport, known for placing the blame for her failures on others, OR, a woman who is the ONLY American in history to have won gold medals in 5 consecutive Olympic Games? A woman who is one of only 3 people in the history of the modern Olympics, and the only woman, to have won 3 Olympic gold shooting medals. Which is the more positive role modal?
As to this thread morphing, or being hijaked, I doubt Leo minds.
Good job not getting personal too.
Tom and Jerry cartoon are extremely violent. Violence is violence. In this case, the eye of the beholder regarding the NFL's Advertising Policy is, uhm, you know, the NFL.
And I find it amusing that the NFL advertising standards exclude some kinds of violence, and some kinds of alcoholic beverages.
Because whether the brain damage is a result of 'violence' or being tackled by several human refrigerators at once, the end result is still brain damage, and the NFL is responsible for enabling some of it.
And whether the offender was 'overserved' with malt liquor flavored beverage, martinis, or beer, makes no difference to those who don't enjoy the company of obnoxious drinkers, who are liable to stumble, spill beer, or pee on innocent bystanders. Many of whom can be found at NFL games,and the NFL enables them too.
The fact that injuries happen to high school kids playing football, or to the pros playing football, does not in and of itself constitute excessive. The NFL and all organized football leagues have specific rules prohibiting excessive violence, actually. The top 10 most dangerous sports, where injuries are the most frequent and the most severe, where you are the most likely to get injured or killed are:
Cheerleading
Horseback Riding
Bull Riding
Gymnastics
Football
Hockey
Lacrosse
Motocross
Rugby
Soccer
(number 11 is surfing and number 12 is weightlifting)
I think it's crystal clear what they are implying. They are implying that they won't accept advertising for distilled spirits or flavored malt beverages.
But beer, that's different.
You call it moral judgements, they call it business decisions. You think any activity where a child can get any level of brain damage constitutes excessive violence, other people disagree. You subscribe to the "a drink is a drink is a drink" myth believing that beer, wine and liquor are all the same, other people know better.
When a drunk acts obnoxious, or gets behind the wheel, it is all the same.
"When a drunk acts obnoxious, or gets behind the wheel, it is all the same."
Yes, that is correct, but the NFL has NO problem advertising beer, which is KNOWN to kill innocent people.

When you state "I'm bored", you made it personal, and I responded to that comment. Now you don't want it to be about you?

I think Turtle pretty well connected the dots ... lemme know if you still don't get it ... I'll see if I can find the kids crayons and draw you a picture.
Gee ... really ?
I would never have guessed ...
You are about as much fun as a sore foot. NO sense of humor, and by the way, you are NOT a mod. SO, I don't have to listen to you! SO THERE!
Kinda of smart butt are you not? Why is it that most of the time I can carry on with Turtle, without being talked down to and almost never with you? That's two now, the third should chime in soon, as per normal.

Nope. Not tonight... Just a spectator.
You are about as much fun as a sore foot.
I have challenged a lot of things you said,
NO sense of humor,
Some would argue that statement, I think.
and by the way, you are NOT a mod. SO, I don't have to listen to you!
Of course you don't have to listen to me - now that my daughters are grown, no one does. No one "had to" when I was a mod, either. Having a title is irrelevant - it makes sense, or it doesn't.
SO THERE!
Coming from an adult, that's just - um - uh - bizarre, ok?

One might say that ... and they wouldn't be at all wrong if they did.
Well, I can't speak for him, but I think you're purposely ignoring (or rejecting) the reasoning (that the NFL is using) because it doesn't comport with your personal ideology ... or something ...
I think that you actually do understand the point being made about the potential liability to the NFL ... but acting obtuse serves your agenda and seems like a cute way to pass the time (to you)
To me, not so much ...
