An advertisement that was displayed on NFL.com for a little while showed a picture of Jamaal Charles being carted off the field with a torn ACL with the caption, “Injury ruined your fantasy season?”
↵The ad was taken off the website within 24 hours of originally being posted and according to NFL spokesperson Greg Aiello, “was a mistake and was taken down immediately”.
↵It was a poor idea from the beginning and not in good taste to try and use a players’ misfortune as a marketing ploy.
↵A picture of the ad can be seen here.
