We won the ads...

[Freedomofspeech]

That's all I care about. So heartwarming to watch. RESIST.

[2naSalit]

1. Huh. I didn't catch that one.

I went out to catch the end of the game around the last 10 mins of 3rd quarter. I Liked the NFL thing about the lines that end up being an outline of the US over the grid on the field and a message of inclusion. Seemed like most commercials had that sort of theme.

[Hoyt]

2. The ads were beautiful.

[BeyondGeography]

3. By a red-state rural county country mile

[Freedomofspeech]

5. And I live in that red state country mile.

Southwestern PA...Hillbilly hell.

[BeyondGeography]

6. Driven through there

It's beautiful. I was in a wow, look at this mode. Then I saw the Stars and Stripes flying upside down from a barn with the Stars-and-Bars over it.

Americans should be happier.

[Freedomofspeech]

7. Trump signs are still up everywhere.

[BeyondGeography]

10. Pretty much the same in upstate NY

He could blow up the world and they wouldn't care. Maybe they'd like that, actually. Especially after watching all those ads.

[Freedomofspeech]

12. We drive though upstate NY often...headed to Maine to visit our son. No trump signs in Maine.

[Cha]

4. Excellent reminder at the this point in time.. thank you!

[Dallasdem1988]

8. Someone please talk me down.

I was just talking to my Roomate on the ride home from the watch party and he said something very similar.

What immediately made me feel off(something I admit I didn't feel watching the lovely ads during the game, especially the lumber one!) was that it seems so odd that all of a sudden the big corporations are on our team.

I have felt so betrayed since the comey letter that I feel I can't trust anything, and something just doesn't feel right having these corporations that have always put profit over people all of a sudden in our corner.

[Freedomofspeech]

14. The fact that these corporations stood against the bastard trump was amazing.

Gave me more hope than I've had in three months.

[Dallasdem1988]

16. Good point

And they were beautifully done I might add

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Strange bedfellows.

But the big corporations (the only advertisers who can afford SB ads) have come to realize that diversity is good business, plus the fact that they have employees from all over and they buy and sell things all over the world, so the last thing they want is restrictions on immigration and imports/exports. Trump's attitude towards immigrants (and his threats of trade wars) could be very damaging to them.

[Hortensis]

37. Right. Not strange bedfellows at all.

Plus, we're talking about people, not Stepford husbands. Many business leaders are appalled by trumpism in general, as well as worried about what its damages to our nation could mean to their companies.

[moda253]

23. Corporations are not anti diversity

It is bad for business to be anti- gay, or to not be inclusive. It took a long time fire them to come around but once they figured out that tapping into diversity is good for business and brand they will not go back. Make no mistake they will geind people to the bone and crush peoples souls but still they understand diversity is good for business.

[zentrum]

34. It's because the demographic

....that buys their products is diverse. They are still following the money and they know that "Alt-right-all-white only" hurts their bottom line.

Coke has factories all around the world and sells to the world. They're huge in Asia, India, the Middle East. They know they can't be seen as Trump supporters.

[Trust Buster]

9. "We won the ads" ? What does that mean ?

[Freedomofspeech]

13. The ads were all about embracing everything that tRump is against.

[Trust Buster]

15. Well, they won the presidency, the Senate, the House and the vast majority of state legislatures.

I would hold off on spiking the football in the end zone at this time. We need many more victories of greater import IMO.

[Freedomofspeech]

18. Please let me enjoy the fact that these corporations took on that asshole Bannon and tRump.

I am suicidal. It was a breath of fresh air.

[Cha]

21. It is Hope for our Future!

20. Yes we know the trumps own the gov.. For NOW.. the these corps are betting on the People.

28. Nothing, really.

It was a game. A terrific game featuring some amazing talents.

[C_U_L8R]

11. Yes, and even more

We won the brands. It's heartening to see
so many companies take a solid public stand.

[Cha]

17. If #Coke and #avocado advertisers are banking on anti-Trump sentiment to this level then EVERYONE is

[Jim Beard]

19. I think Coca Cola wins more because they have been doing this for some time

first one was the Song , "I would like to teach the world to sing". Remember.

They ran another one with voice over of different people singing "America the Beautiful".

[Jim Beard]

22. I wish that the one where they had to crossed border gate that the gate had swung open and then ....

swing back open the other direction. Like no borders.

[Vermijelli]

24. The ads are designed to make money, period.

Don't be fooled.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Of course.

But they also can affect public opinion.

[yeoman6987]

25. Most of the stuff in the ad, we can't afford

Those cars ads especially were obnoxious. Notice no american automobile ads this year. I guess 5 million a minutes has priced out American companies.

[orangecrush]

29. Had 12 friends over for SB

And coincidentally bought a bunch of Coca Cola for the event.

[virgogal]

30. The massive cost of those ads could support thousands of families for a year.

[Eyeball_Kid]

31. The ads were well made, but we didn't win anything. Fox Sports, however, won big.

I'm not using sports as a metaphor for politics. It isn't a reliable indicator for politics. Recall that the Cubs' WS win was supposed to predict a Hillary victory. We see what happened.

No thanks. There's no karma link, no spiritual resonance. Pats won, Falcons lost. Game's over. Now it's on to spring training and another week full of Trumpy Drama.

[kelly1mm]

32. The fact that you think there were ads to be won and that anyone but the corporations 'won'

is why we will continue to lose.

[Freedomofspeech]

38. I'm so sorry that I offended you...

Everything is so damn negative since the election and the ads brought a little levity last night. This election has about killed me and I have worked my ass off for many, many elections. I am hardly part of the problem because I enjoyed a few positive ads.

[radical noodle]

33. The chaos caused by trump's election

cannot be good for most businesses... unless you count liquor. The mood of the nation is often reflected in advertising. It's good to hear that they are just as aware of the disaster this so-called president can bring on all our heads.

35. Chuck Schumer__ pro-women, pro-environment, pro-immigrant, pro-diversity.

Every once in a while, there's a commercial that's well made and pushes a positive message as well as its product. This Audi commerical is one of those rare few. The commercial depicts a girl racing against boys in a soapbox derby while the voiceover makes an uncomplicated case that men and women should be valued equally. Seems like a pretty obvious thing to say. Here, watch the ad.

[fescuerescue]

39. Ads are not the product.

We are the product.

The prize that Corporate America won? Liberal Americans.
