Cowboys criticized over gun-themed coffee company deal
The Dallas Cowboys sparked criticism on social media on Tuesday after announcing a marketing deal with a gun-themed coffee company featuring blends such as “AK-47 Espresso,” “Silencer Smooth” and “Murdered Out.” It’s also been just over a month since the Cowboys announced their role in a $400,000 donation to support victims and survivors of the Uvalde school shooting in South Texas that killed 19 students and two teachers. The tweet announcing the agreement between “America’s Team” and “America’s Coffee” garnered about 200 comments in its first few hours, most of which were critical, suggesting the timing of the announcement was bad.
