Thinking about the NFL today and that I really don't want to work on anything connected to football. Given how dangerous we know this sport is I don't feel right supporting it. (Continued in comments)

I've not asked, but I work in pharma and have come across this once when casting a freelance creative team for a controversial drug. I respected the creatives wishes not to participate in concepting and kept in touch for future opportunities. However they were freelance and not full time. I don't know how the situation would have been handled if they were full time.

Thank you Renae. I don't feel like I am very needed on the team or contributing all that much honestly so maybe it won't be a large issue.

Pretty much any brand/corporation we would work with has some kind of dark side- whether they employ sweat shop workers to make their products, don’t pay their employees enough, don’t want to cover medical benefits that don’t jive with their religious beliefs, destroy the environment, dodge taxes etc. Every player in the NFL knows the health risks-and has worked literally their entire life to play on that stage. Tens of Thousands more who missed the NFL cut would drop everything if they had a chance to play again...it’s cute that you want to take a stand against it- but please don’t pretend any other client on your roster is a better corporation -morally- than the NFL
