Several NFL players were used in an advertisement for the porn expo “Exxxotica Expo 2011” and the League may do something about it. The five players pictured in uniform on the flyer (displayed below) are Major Wright, Eric Berry, Jacoby Ford, Brandon Flowers, and Kareem Jackson. Rookies Corey Liuget, Daniel Thomas, and Anthony Allen are listed as hosts for the event but are not pictured. Major Wright has already distanced himself from the ad writing on twitter “I have NOTHING to do with the Exotic Expo @ the Rosemont! My pic was used without my permission. No Affiliation at all.” Kareem Jackson issued a similar statement, as have Flowers, Thomas, and Liuget.
It should be noted that Berry, Wright, Jackson, Allen, and Flowers, held a football camp together recently. Additionally, Ford, Wright, and Flowers’ pictures have been used to promote other parties, but it doesn’t mean they approved the use of their names and images for the Porn Expo in the flyer below:
Here’s a video report of the investigation by WLS TV via Shutdown Corner:
It could very well be that an overzealous promoter threw these players’ pictures and names on the flyers without getting proper consent and it wasn’t until this became public that it was an issue. Either way, the players are distancing themselves from the Porn Expo, which already has received more publicity than it could have asked for.
