I dont agree with it because I understand the phrase as it is meant, a term of endearment. But considering not everyone is from south Louisiana & they don't understand the origin of the phrase, I can see where the NFL has to play the PC & negative publicity game. Violence against women is a huge,& rightfully so, problem & in light of the recent Ray Rice fiasco, no way the NFL allows questionable wording to be a part of the game experience. When picking a name for a product that you intend to market nationally, & internationally, one should take into consideration the fact that what is acceptable in one region, may not be acceptable, or may hold negative connotations, in another region.

Can you explain this to a non-Cajun living in S LA? You're not saying that quote from the VP is accurate are you? Here's the quote:
quote:
maintained that the name "refers to a loving slap on the back and a kiss on the cheek to your mama as a thank you for preparing another great-tasting dish."

I fully expect the NFL to do away with any and all alcohol adverstising. They are obviously promoting drunk driving and vehicular manslaughter, which a few players every year seem to have a problem with. Wait....they wont do that. What the frick am I thinking? The NFL gets MONEY from alcohol companies. They wouldnt want to take money out of their own pockets now would they? This Slap Ya Mama fiasco is complete horseshite. This country is truly amazing sometimes in the complete hypocrisy, ignorance, and stupidity it constantly displays. It's no wonder we are the laughing stock of the world.
