The National Football League has sacked Al Pacino.
The NFL, citing its anti-gambling policy, demanded that networks not show ads during its TV games for Pacino's upcoming film Two for the Money, which focuses on the sports betting industry.
The decision, made last month, irked executives at Universal Studios, which is distributing the film and had planned a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign during the NFL season.
“We felt that the ad constituted affiliating with or endorsing gambling,” says NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy. “And our policy dates back to the 1960s. It prohibits any kind of ads concerning gambling.”
The NFL doesn't endorse gambling. Is this guy serious?
