Are you all watching the political commercials that the Right are airing during the football games?

It is so off the wall and extreme it makes me lose complete respect for the Right (assuming I had any left) because this is below gutter slime techniques. In one shot they had a transgender man who looked as large as a football player standing in the same uniform as Middle school girls, and the claim is the obvious one that the left wants them to compete at the same level.

They certainly know the gullibility level of their voters.

Looked like it had been created by a SNL crew. “They” know their audience and obviously have no problem taking advantage of their insecurities. Or their lack of knowledge.

to target male sports fans, likely an R demographic, but I wonder how many are actually seeing them. Game breaks are usually when fans get up, hit the fridge, the bathroom, check their fantasy teams, place bets, check their phones and other things.

I've gotten several physical flyers in the mail that show variations on the same theme: a girl whose athletic dreams were shattered not by denied reproductive care or a molesting stepdad/coach/local clergy, but instead by some reprobate with a 5:00 shadow stealing her dreams of high school athletic glory.

Their target audiences are MAGAs and the politically naive voters-- and yes the latter group certainly exists.

I kept waiting on an actor to look into the camera and tell us, "Kamala Harris forced my son to undergo a sex change operation at school then gave him an abortion every week."

political ads and commercials. It’s better than turning the game off entirely for sure!
