Scores strip club couldn't quite score a Super Bowl 50 ad thanks to the hypocrisy of the NFL.
The famous New York City gentlemen's club was one of many places willing to throw down $5 million to land a coveted 30-second Super Bowl spot on Sunday to promote ScoresLive.com.

The promotion was pretty mild considering it was advertising a place where women take their clothes off. Though the spot is definitely PG, it didn't make the cut and will not air during the big game between the Panthers and Broncos this Sunday.
A CBS executive said the "controversial" commercial was pulled because it "didn't meet the standards of the NFL," according to TMZ.

The NFL has a policy against commercials featuring "nude or semi-nude performers" and anything that goes against the rule will be axed from the lineup ... or so they say. Perhaps this all stems from the controversial "nip slip" of Janet Jackson during the Super Bowl halftime show in 2004.
Though it seems like the NFL is right to filter out some of the contentious commercials, the league is pretty hypocritical in pulling the Scores one. Not only are firearm and gambling ads allowed, but some of the most infamous GoDaddy commercials are far raceier than the spot that was pulled for Scores.
The web-hosting company featured several Super Bowl commercials through the years with scantily-clad women in sexually-explicit ads. Sexy NASCAR driver Danica Patrick led the charge as the face of those promotions for many years, but it came to an end back in August when she landed a new sponsor.
Take a look below at just how risqué some of GoDaddy's ads were when compared to the tame Scores commercial that won't make the cut this Super Bowl and then vote in our poll.
