When there's so much bigotry, incompetence, attempted suppression of freedom of the press, and favoritism towards rich white-haired white men at the highest levels, there's bound to be a response to it. It may not be perfect, but I'm not upset to see it. If the bloated cheeto can spout his alternative truths during the pre-game, then a couple of 30-second spots during the game isn't a problem.
Coca-Cola re-broadcast an advert that it first aired in 2014 featuring people of various ethnicities and a multi-lingual version of America the Beautiful. A commercial for Airbnb showed a mosaic of faces of men and women of different nationalities. Budweiser's commercial featured a dramatic re-enactment of Adolphus Busch's immigrant journey to America in 1857. 84 Lumber's commercial told the tale of a Mexican mother and daughter's journey across the US border. Audi had a commercial talking about equal pay for equal women.
I think it was more than clear what was going on here. Pathetic. Maybe we should turn the Superbowl into Clockwork Orange and hold people's eyes open with toothpicks and try and brainwash them, eh?
