The hot sauce company sent a press release criticizing the move before the Saints' third preseason game on Saturday at Indianapolis, which will be televised nationally by CBS.
"People who know our brand 'get it' but all of a sudden, after three years, the NFL doesn't. Maybe they just don't understand our culture. What a shame!" said Jack D. Walker, the company's vice president, in the news release.
Walker maintained that the name "refers to a loving slap on the back and a kiss on the cheek to your mama as a thank you for preparing another great-tasting dish."
I guess with Ray Rice in the stadium, the NFL got a little squeamish. Only 2 two games for Rice for real battery. Slap Ya Mama no longer is allowed to advertise because of possible mis-perceptions. Something seems wrong with that.

Reason: grammar
Everybody loved the Walkers' Cajun seasoning so much, that pretty soon it needed a name. To the folks who came into the deli asking to take home the Cajun seasoning, TW would often proclaim,"When you use this seasoning, the food tastes so good, it'll make you want to go home and slap ya mama, because she could never make anything taste that great.”
... which is different from what Walker stated in the article from the OP. And actually it makes more sense than giving mom a slap and a kiss.
