If you were the owner of a television broadcasting company, and could make 30 million dollars in 30 seconds, I'm certain that you wouldn't care what the commercials were about. It’s all about money. And I imagine they allow it because they do make it amusing and entertaining in some way. For example, the Real “Men of Genius” commercials are hilarious. Another thing is that people like to drink alcohol while watching the game as well. So when advertising for alcohol that may persuade someone to buy a beer right then at the game. The fast food advertisements are helping persuade people to buy fast food maybe when there either at the game or after the game. These two things are common interests in football fans too, so when you advertise the right things at the right time you can sell way more product.
It's always all about money. Great post.
