In a soft economy, the National Football League changes direction and tries to woo casual fans

Article Abstract:

The National Football League has tapped Young & Rubicam Advertising for its $100 million TV campaign with the hope of transforming casual fans into zealous fans. The spots are being sold to networks for as much as 15% less than last year in a nod to the softer economy. Softer too is the message. The ads are less "Feel the power" and more emotional, humorous and nearly corny as are ads on www.nfl.com, touting league merchandise. The campaign is for fans of all ages, regions and demographics.
