Summary
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s Blue Square Alliance Against Hate announced a new Super Bowl ad, “Sticky Note,” to stand up against antisemitism and hate. The ad features a young student being victimized at school for being Jewish, with classmates sticking a degrading note on his backpack. The ad aims to encourage Americans to stand up against hate and features Kraft’s statement, “Stand up for each other and stand up to hate wherever you see it.” The Blue Square Alliance has had previous campaigns, including “When There Are No Words” and “No Reason To Hate.” This $15 million ad buy will reach Americans through various platforms over the next few months.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Kraft’s message of unity and solidarity was loud and clear, but it’s easy to forget when the Patriots are on the field and the focus is on winning.
As the Super Bowl approaches, it’s a reminder that there’s more to life than just the game.
But when the Patriots take the field, it’s hard not to get caught up in the excitement, even if it’s just for a moment.
For the third straight year, the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate is using the Super Bowl platform to spread its message, and it’s a message that resonates with many.
This one felt recognizable early, as the ad’s powerful imagery and message of unity and solidarity left a lasting impression.
Original Observation: The Blue Square’s message is loud and clear, but it’s often drowned out by the noise of the game itself.
