9. IIRC - their arm was twisted by the NFL which refused to give Phoenix
a super bowl until they passed the MLK holiday.

6. yes. he did.
arizona had to give in on MLK day or they wouldn't get the superbowl. however, the city of phoenix had been celebrating for years. arizona is a big diverse state.


as for the ad it was BULLSHIT.
