The NFL Can Sell Alcohol; But Charles Woodson Can’t

NFL Cornerback Charles Woodson started up his own wine company recently, and scheduled a launch party in Ann Arbor, Michigan this weekend.
All is well right?…. Not Quite.
The NFL caught wind of this party and kindly notified Charles Woodson that Roger Goodell implemented a rule disallowing all players from promoting alcoholic beverages. The rule was put into place because if a superstar athlete is peddling alcohol it might influence minors to run out and buy a 40oz to be just like Reggie Bush or something.
However, those same teens WON’T be persuaded to buy alcohol from the four billion Budweiser, Miller, and Coors commercials that air during NFL games. What about a teenager going to an actual NFL game, I guess they must ignore all the beer being sold there.
This rule is almost as bad as the time Roger Goodell pick and choosed who he wanted to suspend for violating the very same rule.
