Remember back in July when Bill Belichick was spotted filming a Subway commercial in Connecticut?
Well, that commercial is out, and it is full Belichick – right down to a scene where the iconic coach cuts the sleeves off a man's suit to fit his fashion sense.
According to a Subway release, the Belichick spot is part of the first wave of ads for its new national marketing campaign. And, Belichick – or at least his charity – also revealed why the coach did the spot: to benefit the Bill Belichick Foundation, which has a mission statement "to bring the values of the Belichick family – a love of sports, coaching and team building – to the athletic leaders of tomorrow."
The Foundation's statement:
"The Bill Belichick Foundation was recently the beneficiary of a partnership between Head Coach Bill Belichick and Subway® Restaurants, the world's largest restaurant chain.
As a result, a contribution was made to the Bill Belichick Foundation, which will help continue providing resources including sports equipment and funding to student athletes and programs resuming competition. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have affected sports at all levels, with season cancellations and reduction of resources. We are grateful and humbled to have the opportunity to do our jobs to reach organizations providing athletic experiences and opportunities for underprivileged youth."
