Previously, the NFL avoided alcoholic ads like this due to “concerns of associating hard liquor with famous football players in front of young fans.”
According to The Wall Street Journal, the league will now allow its TV partners to accept commercials for distilled spirits for the 2017 season — of course, there’s a catch: the ads have to include a “prominent social responsibility message” and can’t have a football theme or target underage drinkers.
The NFL said it will only accept four, 30-second hard liquor spots per game with a limit of two such spots in any quarter or during halftime.
