Mayors Michael Bloomberg of New York and Thomas Menino of Boston, whose football teams play in the Super Bowl Feb. 5, will appear in a television commercial during the game to call for a crackdown on illegal gun sales.
The two city chief executives are co-chairmen of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a coalition of more than 600 they founded in 2006. They will dress in the jerseys of the National Football League’s New York Giants and New England Patriots and play on the regional sports rivalry, spokesmen for the two mayors said.
