Yes, Joe Namath Wore a Fur Coat to the Super Bowl

Still more backsliding?

Now I’m really glad I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. And let’s not forget what…I mean who the ball is made of.

From the Urban Dictionary,  Definition of fur hag:
Someone who wears a ridiculous amount of fur, and doesn’t care that it supports murder.

Joe-Namath

New York Jets legend Joe Namath resurrected his famous flashy duds for Super Bowl XLVIII. Broadway Joe showed up on the sidelines in a fur coat reminiscent of his playing days.

The former quarterback often wore a full-length fur coat on the bench in the 1960s and ’70s — a practice that has since been banned by the NFL. The eye-catching duds had Twitter talking and wondering when the wrath of PETA will hit.

  1. I guess the guy was demented and brain-damaged back in the 60s and 70s….and clearly, nothing has changed. Poor stupid Joe. He hasn’t learned a damn thing in 5 decades.

  2. He looks ridiculous wearing animal skins in 50 degree weather! Furthermore, he is brain damaged, so maybe we can’t hold it against him for looking so outdated and like such a has been! Give it up, you’re not “Broadway Joe” to many anymore. Most people watching probably don’t even know who he is.

  3. Absolutely appalling… fur is back, worn by brain-damaged former players, the animal torture field is increasing the number of animals in their torture labs whose heads they smash in to “study the impacts of head trauma suffered by football players… ” what’s the value of education?

  4. Hellish, isn’t it? If it’s dangerous, quit playing. Simple as that. I remember being ten years old reading a magazine of my mom’s, and there was an article about vivisection, dogs being used to study car crashes and helmets. This was a long time ago and it looks like not much has changed. I think that set me on the road to animal welfare.

  5. Namath’s brains have been hit far too many times, and who is that fur hag along with him? They probably do not have the sense to even know how ugly they look. I do not think we can “educate” people who have not heart, no compassion. When spray paint and yelling were used at these cave people, it did a lot of good–then “activists” became too wishy washy. Now, fur is worn everywhere, because these sociopaths get away with it. Once smoking became almost taboo, it was not acceptable in most places. That is what we need to do with fur wearing again. The other way is simply not working, is it?

    • I’m with you. Who in this day and age of the Internet with its countless on-line videos graphically displaying the horrors of trapping and fur farming can claim ignorance about what goes into making a fur coat? “Education is the answer” only when you are talking about people with a working conscious and normal sense of morality. All others are more likely to ditch the furs only in response to verbal insults and public shaming or outright fear of assault. And good question: when DID anti-fur activists become such wussies? It wasn’t like that in the 1980s and 90s. So, breakout those spray cans!
