It's crazy how much these superbowl commercials are just beautifully rendered vingettes tied to core human emotions and needs like community or family or confidence or agency and they just stick a logo in there, hoping our little pattern-making brains will associate the brand with our core needs and the ads cost like a million dollars so I guess it fucking works.
@shaunaShauna GM I was done forever with the NFL over what they did to Colin Kaepernick. And look at this man:
The independent autopsy, conducted later, was paid for by civil rights activist Colin Kaepernick, a former NFL quarterback.
I wish I had even a fraction of Colin's bravery. So yeah, no NFL for me personally, ever again. I can't do it.
