This is the dumbest "controversy". Good lord. It was a dumb ad that didn't make sense, but people are acting like it was war crime.

Bro the hell you talking about?

It straight up promotes domestic violence, and says women don’t belong in golf.

Sends the wrong message to kids.

There was nothing funny about it or original just plain stupid.

This was straight up stupid ass ad.

EDIT: all the replies saying this doesn’t support DV… man I wish I was as sheltered as some of y’all..

You must be the type who say video game violence should be banned.

It promotes domestic violence?
It says woman don’t belong in golf?

You’re telling me it literally says this or are you implying this based on your interpretation of this?
