Flacco banners irk Broncos fans

DENVER - Banners in downtown Denver advertising the upcoming opening night game between the Broncos and Ravens have some Broncos fans upset.


The banners showcase Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco and Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning.


Fans are questioning the decision to include Flacco in the league's Denver advertising campaign, especially after January's upset that ended the Broncos' season.


A release by the Broncos says in part, "The NFL equally promotes both teams as part of its annual kickoff game." It goes on to say, "Fans may notice some promotional art outside Sports Authority Field at Mile High and around town, but inside the stadium, the game will have the feel of any other Broncos home game."

Fan petitions league to remove Joe Flacco banner from Mile High



petition on Change.org

The petition reads:

To: Roger Goodell, @nflcommish, National Football League
Take the Joe Flacco signage off my Mile High Stadium! Broncos Nation will not endure this detestable and audacious act. Who in their right mind thought that we would just let this fly?! We stand united against your unbearable Joe Flacco signage.

Sincerely,
[Your name]

Denver fans have been up in armsDenver Broncos@DenverBroncos

Because the NFL promotes both teams playing in its annual Kickoff Game, fans will notice signage outside @SportsAuthField and around town that features the Broncos and Ravens. But regardless of league guidelines, this will always be #BroncosCountry...

I usually like @PeterBurnsRadio. But I hope he gets killed on Twitter today for insulting a fan base today. #beenherefortwentyminutes

@PeterBurnsRadio you may find the Flacco controversy to be ridiculous, but pretending to not understand why fans are mad is disingenuous.

Peter Burns @PeterBurnsRadio

If you get pissed at NFL Flacco poster in Denver, go ahead and get pissed at Nuggs/Rox/Avs for marketing other teams in ticket packages

@PeterBurnsRadio last time I checked they aren't hanging pictures of Pavel datsuk, Kobe Bryant, and Buster Posey around town.

Anything that annoys Bronco fans is OK with me.

Anything that annoys Bronco fans is OK with me.

Raiders fans annoy Broncos fans, and I'm not okay with Raiders fans.
