Sean Payton ‘Violated’ The League’s Sponsor Rules By Filling Room With Competitors Of League Sponsors (PIC)

Sean Payton may have just started a feud with the NFL.

Prior to the draft, the league made sure to send out a memo to coaches and draftees to tell them that anything on camera should be sponsors of the NFL. Payton did not comply.

During the 2020 NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints head coach was shown on national TV and a visible Coca-Cola can on his table as well as a pack of Twizzlers near his computer screen.Neither item were sponsors of the league.

You have to believe that the league was none too pleased with Payton’s actions and will likely reach out to him to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
