Being an ad pro with close to 50 years in the biz, I laughed when I saw this commercial execution. So wrong on some many different levels. How could anyone take these spots seriously? A pathetic attempt to appease the "crowd." Pathetic effort.

Ironically, it's pretty much an invitation to fans to harass players when they lose. NCAA, here's an idea instead of a lame ad telling other people what to do, maybe you should actually, I don't know, regulate the sports you are supposedly governing? It's the freaking wild west out there right now.

Shitheads.
