I know this isn't Chiefs related, but it's sports related, and it could be Chiefs related if it were Matt Cassel, Dwayne Bowe, Jamaal Charles, or a host of other Chiefs players in the commercial.

On ESPN's Outside the Line's today, there was a debate about whether Kobe or any pro athlete should be a spokesperson for such a "violent" video game.

On the show, they even brought it a mortician who brings kids to a funeral home and uses that as a scare tactic to show them where gun violence leads.  I think that is a little much, especially since we are talking about a video game here.

I just find it absolutely mind boggling that this is even an issue.  It's a commercial about a video game that is rated MA, which is intended for adults, 17 and older.  It's only a few seconds of him holding a rifle and I guess that is the "controversial" aspect of it.  I just don't find it to be that big of a deal, and I don't see why they are making such a huge deal out of it. 

1.)  It's a video game.  It's fantasy.  If you can't separate the fantasy world of a video game and reality, then you my friend don't need to be a part of society. 

2.)  It's marketed to adults 17 and older.  If a child gets their hands on the game, then that is on the parents and it's their failure for allowing it.  I just don't see the problem with Kobe or any other athlete, including Chief players, endorsing a video game.

I guess it must be a slow sports day for ESPN.  It's a slow day around here too, so I figured this might generate some discussion while I try to get better at using this FanPost editor....Lol.

But, Chiefs fans, I would like to know, do you have a problem with the commercial?  Would you have a problem with any of the Chiefs players being part of a commercial like this?  Am I the only person out there that thinks this is a non-issue?
