I don't wastch football so I didn't see it in the context of the program but did view it on-line. It didn't seem particularly racey to me. I've seen racier ads for Viagra or STD drugs or even car ads. I think the complaints were multilplied because she was a Caucasion and he was African American. Possibly also because she appeared older and than the football guy. Wrong though it may be that still pushes a lot of buttons in America and I think that combined with the (oh horrors I can see her BACK!) towel drop set a lot of people off.
