Remember our NFLPA Super Bowl Ad: Let Us Play? Sure you do. What you may not remember is that CBS was going to run the Ad on the Saturday before Super Bowl XLV as part of the NFLPA College All-Star game but it was REJECTED based on its content. LET IT AIR.

The link to the original Ad can be found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl9BpUgYljQ along with it's description below:
Players: "Let Us Play" Fans: "Let Them Play" Here we are, Super Bowl, the biggest event in sports, and an NFL Lockout looms very large. As the NFL celebrates its most successful season ever, NFL owners are preparing to lock out players and fans from their game starting in March. Owners have not opened their books or offered justification for this threat. The players want to play and the fans want to see them play. So, why won't the Owners take a Lockout off the table? Do your part as a fan and help Block the Lockout.
