Senator Russ Feingold, a leading voice for tight regulations on campaigns and elections, has been contacted by the National Football League today for using NFL footage without permission for a new campaign ad.
In the ad, Feingold claims that Republican Ron Johnson and others are figuratively dancing in the end zone, celebrating his expected defeat on November 2. A scoreboard shows time remaining and Feingold says he’s not done yet. As he speaks, the screen shows footage from several post-touchdown celebrations, most of them featuring generic teams wearing generic uniforms.
