Feature-length advertisement
That's it. Looks like the NFL money machine was worried that not enough people were excited enough about one of their off-season events. So...DRAFT DAY!!!!!!!
shareNFL fans get plenty excited about the draft. Since it's one of the biggest (and only) off-season "events" to get excited about.
In any case, I don't think the NFL needs to do an advertisement. They have plenty of fans. This script was well known to be a highly acclaimed script before it was actually made into a movie. It was on the Black List for... 2012 I think? I don't recall the year. But, it's not like the NFL had some writers locked in a room until they produced a flattering film to draw attention to the fact that there's this little thing called 'the NFL.'
So go attempt to be jaded elsewhere.
Thanks for the information Hannonie, I did not know this was a Black List film! The OP is clearly out of his mind. We already love the NFL anyways. I thought it was cool to see some of the different stadiums as well.
