If major TV networks can profit from ads selling beer, pills, and politics, then they can certainly air ads that protect women’s sports.
When networks start deciding which messages the public gets to hear, that’s no longer “business,” that’s bias.
If they refuse to run ads that defend fairness for student athletes, then maybe Congress should step in, because it’s not the media’s job to pick winners and losers in the fight for women’s sports.
I think Congress, and particularly members of the Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee, will be curious to learn if corporate TV executives are colluding with the Commissioners of the Big 10 and the SEC to suppress the first amendment expression of legislation they oppose. 🇺🇸
The TV Networks (specifically Fox and ABC) are refusing to run this ad for @SavingCollSprts today during the games.
No good reason given as to why - just ignoring us or telling us to contact their attorneys. The General Council for one major network told me it was a “business decision”. This was AFTER we’d sent them a large wire to pay for the ads!
Why would the networks want to silence a legitimate debate around an issue that affects hundreds of thousands of kids and is existentially threatening to women’s sports and Olympic sports? What is the “business reason” that overrides the benefit and enjoyment that college sports provide to tens of millions of Americans?
What are they hiding??
If there was ever a question that money, control, and greed are being prioritized over student athletes, fans, and communities…Here you go!!
We all knew that the current situation in college sports seemed very slimy and was driven by people who couldn’t care less about the common good…. But we had no idea how bad it truly is!!
It’s become obvious…We have to drain the swamp that College Sports have become!!
This fight isn’t about me, and it certainly isn’t about TV ads - it’s much bigger. It’s about doing what is right and necessary to save a great American institution. I promise that I won’t stop fighting until we are successful in solving this problem, and I know I can count on many of you to join me!
