Superbowl commercials... Progressive.

Wife was watching the SB and I was ignoring it while doing homework. I guess my subliminal ears were working and I realized after a while that many of the commercials seemed to have a very blatant, kuhmbya tone...

No, we are disgusted at the misuse of babies.

Cultural Marxism, like all of Marxism, is confrontational. Uninterested in debating with the purpose of coming to an agreement, because they would lose outright, Marxists instead resort to attacking, anything from the outright genocides of Russia and China to the tearing down of the greatest institutions of Western civilization.

As such, they view attempts to ration with them as an attack. They send their demands as an attack, thus they view any non-agreement as an attack. Think about it, they claim that disagreeing with them causes them emotional, thus physical distress equal to acts of violence, and that is how they justify their proactive violence, claiming that it is reactive. They burn and loot and attack people and professors and speakers with whom they disagree.

Because all attempts to educate, debate, or otherwise ration with them are framed as an attack, they hide behind classes of people against whom no person of good will would ever initiate violence. In this case, they are hiding behind babies.

Those are the elements, now let's assemble them:

If you disagree with their message, you are committing physical violence, and because they are speaking from the perspective of defenseless, innocent babies, if you disagree with replacing rights with special privileges for grievance groups, you are really PUNCHING A BABY, ironically hiding behind a group of people their opponents find most precious, though they esteem them no value.

They're basically saying, "Stop hitting this baby that you value, even though I dont. It makes you a bad person."

That's the twisted message. They tried it with a black President, and it worked for 6 years, but now claims of racism have worn out, so they have moved on to transes and rape culture and claims of hating babies.

I have to admit I was only half-ass watching but the commercials I did see were lame. Not only lame but very pandering. The worst part of the pandering is it wasn't needed.

"We're on the same team"

"We're all in this together"

Just two of the themes I saw in the commercials.

Yeah, we get it. Everyone is to be represented. We all get this except for the MINORITY of racist people in this country. And those people are on both sides.

More pandering...

"First responders this"

"First responders that"

"We salute first responders"

"First responders are great, yay!"

Was it last year or the year before when it was "Yay, military for fighting for our freedom"?

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate what they both do but c'mon...the pandering is/was a little forced. Which kinda takes away from the whole point.

I didn't watch the game, but from my reading, it seemed that the NFL made some attempts to recover some of their fan base with the presence of those MoH veterans at the coin toss, allow the USMC ad, Pink's rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner," and very likely assured that the sideline kneeling wouldn't occur.

To me, it is all too little, and way too late.

While Super Bowl viewership has already declined the past couple of years, I will be curious to see the viewership numbers after everything that has occurred this past year.

It started off well. It started off citing truths. Then it slipped into a combination of false premises and false conclusions. I liked the one later part about not letting where you come from determine where you go, but it wasn't in the capacity of individual merit, but rather with an overtone of demanding special intersectional dispensation by class.

The brutal irony is that babies and young children don't often discriminate by race, unless they are raised segregated. It is a learned behaviour. People do, however, learn over time, through observation and life experience, to discriminate based on behaviour, and, bluntly, there are subcultures here in the US that are defective and need to fix themselves before they even have the capacity to be treated as equal.

The ad also goes off the rails about "demanding" to be treated a certain way despite mental illness like homosexuality and transgenderism. Nobody has a right to force anyone else to accept their mental illness as normative. In fact, it is cruel to tell people who suffer from an illness that they are normal, instead of encouraging them to deal with their illness.

Let's see. According to the news articles posted here, conservatives have been boycotting the NFL for a while now. Why would you expect them to buy commercials? Also, if you boycott the game, why watch the "progressive" commercials? Isn't the whole idea of a boycott to remove support for the companies who advertise during the games as well?

it's not a boycott. I simply have no use for the NFL or its advertisers



The NFL and their "kneelers" can go pound sand. So can the advertisers.

TV commercials these days are so far gone it's all I can do to not throw my shoe through the TV screen. The mute button on my remote is the first one to wear out. They aren't smart or clever or funny. They are stupid, unrealistic, boring, trite, pandering and obnoxious. I wonder just who they are trying to sell their **** to.

The NBA can pound sand as well. The Utah Jazz no more represents me than the multitude of countries and states the players came from. And the players have ZERO attachment to and no love for my state either. The feeling's mutual.

The media is fully engulfed in brainwashing the masses. Sports, movies, music, even commercials... Everything is a platform for propaganda these days. Can't think of the last time I watched tv and didn't see a bunch of social justice BS. It's effective on those with simple minds, but there's also more and more people tuning out.

We had a big SB party at our house....game was great (thankfully the Eagles won) but I honestly don't even really remember any of the commercials (I only saw a handful of them) as being noteworthy...I make it a point to try and not watch any commercials though. The only ones I would really care about are movie trailers and I can just watch those online after the game.

Neilsen ratings showing a 3% drop in viewership for the super bowl

i know my extended family skipped our annual superbowl party that we've done every year for the last decade. that's about 20 viewers who skipped it right there

Yep. For 20 years or so we've enjoyed some really great commercials with bad football in-between.

This year was the opposite.

I mean, they really stunk up the place. Terrible.

Does Dodge/Chrysler/RAM really believe that youthful blacks represent the correct demographic for a 40K+ pick up??

Nope, good ol boys buy them (or used to) and we really don't give a flip how many MLK quotes you make.


BUT I'll gladly accept the bad commercials in return for an end to the Pats/Brady reign.

Yup I wasnt gonna watch it but the udder half is involved in ad sales on local nbc station and she wanted to make sure commercials ran as needed. Dont know if any of you noticed but there was a 15-30 second lapse where screen was black during game break. Some egghead didnt run an ad at that time and it cost network 3 mil in lost revenue.
Anyways, the dirty dancing ad with the giants was great. NBC also had a bunch of their own corporate ads that I assume ran because they didnt sell all the spots nationally.
