Easy, breezy, sleazy: NFL bruised

NFL Headquarters (Americasroof)
Cover Girl's claim of being “the official beauty partner of the NFL”  has literally undergone a bruising.

Neha Prakash of Mashable reports that Photoshop-adept protesters of Roger Goodell’s initial “failure to handle the Rice situation” doctored a Cover Girl’s “Get Your Game Face On” ad.  Their
version of the ad shows “a girl with a bruised eye in a display of domestic violence.”

This version went viral on Twitter, sporting the hashtag #GoodellMustGo.  A “women’s advocacy group Ultraviolet” flew banners flaunting this hashtag “over several NFL stadiums during Sunday’s games.”

To date, Goodell is still with the NFL, and Cover Girl is still continuing its original “Game Face” campaign.

So much for protests?  That remains to be seen.
