COCA-Cola has found itself in the midst of a controversy following its NFL Super Bowl advertisement featuring homosexuals and multinational lifestyles to the tune of "America the Beautiful".

Sports fans are reportedly offended by the soft drink company's use of the patriotic song in eight different languages, calling it a 'disgrace' and 'unpatriotic'.

Meanwhile, the company has stated that it does not plan on either making any changes or dropping the advertisement, news.com.au reported.

The soft-drink giant added that it will air a 90-second version of the advert, at the opening ceremony of the Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia, which has been in news for its new anti-gay laws.
