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.

Too true. Alcohol usage can result in actual domestic violence. A spice named "Slap Ya Momma" more than likely results in no actual domestic violence, though I don't have data to back that up, nor does anyone.

I'm sure they would have a problem with a beer named "Drink & Drive". I'm not going to argue with you because I don't buy into all of the frickin PC BS that is ruining our country but the fact is, companies, because of said PC BS, are being held to some pretty ridiculous marketing rules & it would probably be a good idea to not associate your products name with any sort of negative social concern or sensitive issue. Again, as said in my original response, I don't agree with it but I see where the NFL would feel the need to distance themselves from a controversial product name.
