A gun store owner in South Carolina has had ESPN refuse to renew his contract to do commercials on their network even after several months of airing his company’s ads. The owner is stating that ESPN told him that the reason behind it all was because of the type of business it was.
“When I questioned them, [the media company] came back and said that ESPN did not want gun stores because they feel that gun store commercials inspire and encourage violence in children. I find it ironic, that’s the funny thing,” Sprovero said.
