9554: Allstate Mayhem Extends Losing Streak.


Here’s yet another reason to hate the Allstate Mayhem campaign: A sports-related commercial glorifying mob violence directed at referees. Nice. Anyone who has ever produced advertising with the NFL or NCAA knows it’s forbidden to denigrate the officials. Additionally, coaches and players who criticize the refs can expect to face league reprimands, penalties and fines. So why is Allstate allowed to run this shitty spot during game broadcasts?
