OT: EMU football can't catch a break

Submitted by Zoltanrules on

EMU's football promotion poster just came out hours ago ,and well ... the internet has noticed and someone in the marketing department is probably not going to get a raise... at least the water tower is not in the background.

Okay, you're going to have to explain it, because at least at the level of detail of your attached image, I don't see what the problem is.

They're also not very good at catching passes.

 

What's the issue here?

 

EDIT: OH it looks like they're masturbating/being serviced by the footballs. The Eastern Michigan Vinegar Strokes.

I had to Google to see why this was trending/notable and I guess it has to do with the silly excited expressions being mistaken for another kind of, umm, "excitement." That combined with player names Shaq Vann and Brogan Roback and it's a recipe of snickers and laughs.

You're an idiot if you legitimately think anything on this poster will negatively effect someone's career/pay.

There is absolutely nothing to see here.

Adolescent boys? Give me a break. Say what you want about EMU, but I think the notion that this poster looks in any way dirty/sexual is a lame and lazy attempt at degrading a football program/university that's been the butt of the joke for far too long now. 

Instead, maybe give them credit for (from all appearances) finally turning a corner in terms of respectability. What Creighton did last year was incredible, and if he's able to duplicate it again this year, you'd have to think he'd be saught after by many.
