Quick Shots: NFL 60 Commercial

So while watching Sunday Night Football, they had this ad from the NFL trying to get kids to play outside for 60 minutes a day. The ad starts by saying something along the lines of, "This is the first generation to not outlive its parents." Or, it could have been grandparents; I only noticed it near the end.

Hmmm...if the NFL really wants to lengthen people's lives, there is something that is even better for them to do. Invest in medical research solving "incurable" diseases and other causes of death.

I guess this shows my way of thinking. If you want people to outlive their parents, don't waste time outside. Tell them there kids to get inside and start playing scientist, teaching them the skills needed to find new medical cures. Plus, by not being outside, they are less likely to be hit by a car when their ball goes in the street or be part of a deadly gang. (Yep, had to throw in that bit cause that is pretty dang relevant.)

Just goes to show, there are many ways to accomplish a task. I would argue my solution would pay off more than the current idea of the NFL. Then again, the NFL really isn't trying to prolong life; they just are playing propaganda masters to convince kids to play outside. A true waste of money!
