Adam Wainwright criticizes erectile dysfunction ads in MLB playoff coverage

Adam-Wainwright-Cardinals

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright had some harsh words for Major League Baseball and its television partners on Friday.

Wainwright tweeted the official accounts for MLB and MLB on Fox, critical of the constant ads for erectile dysfunction remedies that are a fixture in commercial breaks.

Money talks, so it’s fair to say that Wainwright’s input probably won’t make much of a difference. He’s far from the first to bring this up, however, as many parents watching with children probably don’t want to have to explain what, exactly, these commercials are for. If baseball really wants to appeal to a younger audience, they may want to reassess who their major advertisers are.
