The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) -- the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industry -- has learned that FOX Sports Media Group has banned advertisements featuring firearms, knives and ammunition from its coverage of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) events.
While the UFC has yet to make an official announcement, NSSF has confirmed that "absolutely no firearms, ammo, hunting or knife companies will be permitted as sponsors in any Zuffa-promoted events."
NSSF is encouraging all gun and knife owners, sportsmen and firearms and knives enthusiasts to contact FOX today and urge them to rescind this anti-knife, anti-gun corporate policy. FOX's decision to ban advertisements for lawful products owned by millions of Americans is nothing more than corporate gun and knife control.
Make sure your voice is heard. Here's how to contact FOX:
Corporate Headquarters FSN
10201 W. Pico, Bld. 103
Los Angeles, CA 90035
Phone: 310-369-1000
Very misleading thread title.
Can you imagine if Fox instigated this. How many veiwers they will lose?
There is more to this story.
Wasn't this reported like a month ago or was it a just a rumor at that time? 
O/P is fuckin moron.`
good for Fox.
My guess is the NFL probabaly has the same policy, on their corporate network you can't even go to sites that sell guns or knives.
cars = WAY more deadly than guns/knives*
unless you live in DC...
colubrid1 - Can you imagine if Fox instigated this. How many veiwers they will lose?Would you really not watch the ufc or fox because of ads they don't allow ?

Who gives a shit?
Search back about 45 days in the threads for the first time this was announced. No effect so far on viewership, unless you want to count back to back record increases on Fuel and FX.
How about banning commercials altogether? *That* would be something to talk about. Who cares about this?
UG News to pick this up in 3...
Old news is old.
