How Patrick Mahomes circumvented NFL rul

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a prominent role in a Coors Light ad that dropped on Wednesday a direct violation of the NFL's policies allowing players to appear in alcohol commercials.Or, it would be a violation, if Mahomes hadn't hilariously circumvented rules that would otherwise bar his appearance. As it stands now, he NHL Seattle Kraken Women Jersey merely is promoting the new Coors Light, a stainle s steel flashlight (which has suspiciously similar descriptions to Coors Light, the beer).Here is the ad, which describes the product as coming in sizes of 12 or 16 fluid ounces, is "great for summer nights" and has high-quality steel so it feels as cold as the Rocky Mountains to use a random analogy.Introducing The Coors Light.

It's a flashlight, not a beer, as Mahomes said in a humorous news release:This summer Im excited to team up with Coors Light again to debut The Coors Light, Mahomes Haydn Fleury Women Jersey said. Its a legit flashlight. Its made with high-quality steel. So it feels cold like the Rocky Jared McCann Jersey Mountains.The company will actually release a limited number of flashlights every day at 10 a.m. ET from Wednesday through Friday. The flashlights cost $15 the same number as Mahomes' Chiefs jersey at TheCoorsLight.com.
