They spiked this political football.
The NFL is refusing to run a veterans group’s Super Bowl ad asking people to “please stand” for the national anthem because the message is too political.
AMVETS sought to place a $30,000, full-page print ad in programs for Super Bowl LII that will be handed out to fans at Minneapolis’ US Bank Stadium when the New England Patriots take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Feb. 4.
A mock-up of the sacked ad features soldiers holding aloft Old Glory beside the message “#PleaseStand.”
