In order to create long-lasting viewers, the league tries to instill the love of the game to elementary-age kids. Dohrmann easily persuades an audience of parents by explaining who is targeting them and their children, why they are being targeted, and how they are being targeted in an ad campaign to allure their kids into playing football. He even offers a seemingly-perfect solution to this dilemma.

This is thanks to the mission statement, the way their organization is run, and they care about the product that they put out.

NCLB ensures that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments (Little, 2009; No Child Left Behind Act, 2002). While all core subjects are addressed under NCLB, increasing technology dominance in our society has spotlighted deficiencies in math and science. Particularly, students in the United States are not performing as well in math as students in many other developed countries (Schleicher & Davidson, 2012).
