NFL looks into porn event ad using NFL players (Berry...Flowers)
Quote:
Five NFL players were featured in a recent advertisement for an Exxxotica Expo 2011 party in Miami last month. The problem: They were in uniform.

“The NFL office works on behalf of the clubs to protect their intellectual property rights in matters such as this” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told ABC-7 in Chicago, who broke the story.

The players in the ad who were said to be “hosts” of the party: Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers, Bears safety Major Wright, Chiefs safety Eric Berry, Texans cornerback Kareem Jackson, and Raiders wideout Jacoby Ford. (Here’s the ad.)

“Our legal team is reviewing the ad. In general, companies not affiliated with the NFL or its clubs may not depict a player in his uniform” said McCarthy.

The Bears said they are “troubled” by Wright’s usage and believe it’s an inappropriate use of their logo, so they alerted the league about it. They pointed out that sometimes players are unaware their images are used in such events, but ABC-7 calls Wright a “fixture” of the Miami party scene. Rookies like Daniel Thomas and Corey Liuget were also in the ad.

The event was billed as the official launch party for the Expo, which will take place in the Chicago area in July. It’s said to be the world’s largest gathering of porn stars in the world.

We know the NFL is losing advertisers because of the lockout, so perhaps they should embrace this as an opportunity.

What’s more successful (and American) than football and porn?

Looks like it was the ad company that messed up by using uniform pictures, not the players. Still stupid of them to be getting involved with porn star parties.

Everyone knows a guy like Flowers is getting his Berrys dingled, but these guys shouldn't put it out there like that. They have a good guy image and it's to early in their careers to **** it up.

Agent: Eric Berry Had No Involvement In Porn Party Event

Well, well, well.
That story about a couple of Kansas City Chiefs players, including S Eric Berry, being involved in an advertisement for a party promoting the pornography industry?
Yeah, Berry didn't know anything about it. He didn't attend, didn't promote it and didn't approve of the use of his name or image for the party, according to his agent.
Berry's agent, Chad Speck, issued this statement to me shortly after we posted our initial blurb on the subject:
"Eric did not attend and had no knowledge of this event, and he certainly did not approve the use of his name and image in connection with the party."
Berry wasn't even in town when the party took place. He had come to Kansas City on Friday, May 20 -- the night of the party -- for a book signing with Inky Johnson the following day.
We're working on finding out a little more about what exactly happened here. We already know the league is investigating whether the advertisement violated the rules of showing players in uniform.
So, stand down Kansas City. Eric Berry isn't promoting porn parties.

I see nothing wrong with these guys wanting to enjoy their time off. I would like to see how many planteers would pass up that type of an opportunity?

Edit: if they used their name and image w/o permission I would expect some fallout from this

As long as it doesn't affect their play on the field, I could not care less. For the most part Flowers and Berry seem like they make good decisions during their time off.

Playing devil's advocate, if I were promoted to a high level at my job, I'm not sure they would want my face plastered all over a porn party promotion poster. (unintended alliteration)

Yeah....

We're also not the face of a ****ing city either.

There's nothing wrong with them banging tail...but promoting an event like that is bad PR for the player and the team.

No shit.. I would hate to see these guys get disciplined for this kind of crap.

But as far as the average Joe blow, goin to one of those things would be pretty crazy.
