DIRECTV COMMERCIAL FEATURES A GAY COUPLE WHO LOVE THEIR FOOTBALL

American football season has officially started and DirecTV is doing its part to make sure (LGBTI) fans watch every game.

In a new commercial hawking the NFL Sunday Ticket (a program that allows a viewer to see all National Football League games), a male couple explains why they need the package.

'Chris and I have a friendly rivalry: Giants-Cowboys. You know the deal,' a voiceover calmly explains.

Some might not know the New York Giants, but the Dallas Cowboys have been talked about on GSN recently  due to out defensive end Michael Sam.

'A friendly rivalry' really means destroying the living room. The poor pooch has to jump out of the way!

But, as the voiceover notes, this football obsessed pair isn't that extraordinary.

'Sure, we still argue sometimes. But we’re just like any couple, really.'

An equality message, sports, and a cute dog. What's not to love? Watch the video below:
