Chicago Bears defensive end Lamarr Houston and Detroit Lions linebacker Stephan Tulloch both fell victim to ACL tears after celebrating sacks this season.
What does this have to do with the insurance company State Farm? Both were mocking Aaron Rodgers’ “discount double check” advertisement for the company.
A State Farm spokeswoman had this to say to the Wall Street Journal about the recent injuries.
It’s very unfortunate that these players injured themselves while celebrating, but it is our belief that the Discount Double Check is not inherently dangerous. In fact, it can be used to help you save money on insurance when performed correctly. We encourage all athletes to celebrate responsibly.
This is awesome on so many levels. Maybe State Farm should reach out to both Houston and Tulloch about providing them some insurance moving forward.
