Recently a TV advertisement for a faith healers event featuring Mets third baseman David Wright has been taken off air. The withdrawal of the ad owing to the fact that the commercial was not created with the prior permission of the team. Further, the team has alleged that it is a gross misuse of a press credential.
However, Wright was authorized to do TV and radio reports but was not credentialed to use the Mets’ logo in an advertisement. In the ad, Wright has been shown inviting people to attend the ‘Salvation Miracles Revival Crusade’.
On the other hand, Wright has said that he was just trying to accommodate an agency authorized by the Mets. Moreover, he has asked for an apology if his act in the ad has offended anyone.
