Cavs show insane hype video of man chucking woman to the ground (1 Viewer)

I'm totally outraged by this terrible video. Why does the TV switch from Bulls-Hawks to Grizzlies-Blazers in the middle of the commercial? Talk about a lack of continuity! Get it together, Cavs video editors.

I assume that's what you guys are talking about?

 
Nothing like a good throw to the ground to get the girl in line.

So bad in so many ways.

The look of pain as she holds her thigh, coupled with the bag of ice on the head really sells this for me.

I'm guessing she's going to need some Nerf stairs too.

 
Despicable. Excuse me now, while I go back and listen to some hip hop music.
Congratulations on your successful transformation into everyone's grumpy uncle who posts ridiculous comments on Facebook.
Umm... what? :confused:

My response was that I find it funny that people are so outraged about this because it's about domestic violence, yet they will listen to hip hop music that glorifies domestic violence.

And my response is that this is exactly the sort of ridiculous non-sequitur comment that someone's grumpy uncle who doesn't actually listen to hip-hop music would make on Facebook.

 
Dumb commercial, stupider decision to air it, but come on, they're obviously making the fling look farcical for comic effect.

Hi.

 
That was bad on multiple levels.
And on the heels of the ill-fated Kevin Love arm sling giveaway too.

Really surprising to see a team owned by the founder and CEO of Quicken Loans exhibit such questionable behavior.
Yeah, if the Cavs somehow manage to not win a championship with LeBron you have to start putting Gilbert in the pantheon of worst sports franchise owners of all time.

 
Spinoff on a Chicago area commercial involving United Health.
Right, the one where they fall into the table because the two people were on the large size. It was just plain bad, but I am not sure I would say it glorifies domestic violence. I think it was supposed to be more of a drop, but the foam stuff she fell into was over the couch, so he had to throw her a little bit. As sheik said, sort of funny people would get upset at this when there are far more egregious examples of real violence being glorified versus a sort of comedic spin on that United Health ad. Maybe a bit in poor taste but I honestly don't think that the people who made the "bad" ad were thinking that the guy beats his wife into liking the Cavs versus dropping her because of the Bulls shirt instead of doing a Swayze twirl.

 
Never thought that song would be featured in a hype video :shrug:

Gotta give them credit on that, even if it resulted in an arena full of Cavs fans collectively cheering on domestic violence :unsure: [/sarcasm]

Nobody thinks it was some horrible, deliberate pro-domestic violence message. We're just laughing at the fact that it's tone-deaf and its crazy that it slipped through what you'd think would be several layers of review.

As for Sheik's ridiculous point- even if you set aside the fact that hip hop really doesn't glorify domestic violence, certainly not any more than other forms of music, it's still a silly thing to say because it ignores the basic notion of context. There's hundreds of topics in music lyrics (sex, drugs, political/social issues, etc.) that we'd all agree would be poor fodder for an in-game video hype clip.

OK

 
I think there is a very vocal minority who are miserable gits going through life looking for #### to get offended about. I hope someday something significant enough occurs to give those people some perspective.

:banned:

Yep. Cool to be "outraged" at something/anything/everything these days. Whether it be "bullying" or whatever.

Grow the #### up people!
