Former 49ers great and NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice is taking some heat for appearing in a goofy commercial for Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen — and no, we’re not talking about Cajun spice.
Among other things, Rice wears a helmet with a rotating fried chicken wing on his facemask.
Reaction was swift on social media from those who found the ad degrading, or that it played into racial stereotypes — including comic DL Hughley.
Remember when #JerryRice gave #Kaepernick the blues for not standing for the National Anthem!
