Super Bowl Commercial

What is with all of the hoopla about a Super Bowl commercial featuring a Christian football player? Pro-abortion advocates say it is because Tim Tebow is Pro-life and that CBS has, in the past, refused advocacy commercials. They would be right on both accounts. Why has CBS, in the past, refused advocacy commercials. Probably because they didn't have a solid tie-in with football. What they fail to take into account is that Tim Tebow is a football player who might have an impact on future Super Bowls as a player and interest in him is at an all-time high both because of his football skills and his religious beliefs.

Contrary to what President Obama believes, we are not one of the largest Muslim nations, we are a nation founded on Christian principles, i.e. a Christian nation.

Here is the bottom line. If pro-abortion advocates had been as creative as pro-life advocates, we would be seeing pro-abortion commercials on TV. Tebow is a once-in-a-lifetime personality for pro-life. Timing for the Tebow commercial is spot-on. The only reason pro-abortion advocates are against this is because they don't know how to best it. They can't produce commercials for abortions because an abortion is not something to celebrate as life is.

If pro-abortion advocates can come up with a really good case or message to deliver on the Super Bowl, I am sure CBS would be happy to take their money. Let me give them a hint, it has to tie-in to football and not just some talking head football player telling you about strong women.

And CBS is getting a lot of mileage out of this controversy because of the protests. They could not purchase the amount of FREE publicity that the pro-abortion advocates are generating by protesting. The best way for them to fight this is to let it go and remain silent with a resolve to be more creative in the future because nobody would be talking about this without their protesting.

That's my stand, what's yours?

Good points Brian,

My only disagreement is w/ "we are a nation founded on Christian principles, i.e. a Christian nation" America was founded on capitalism, and religious freedoms. There is nothing Christian about Slavery and the racism that came along with it.

You have a good point but that is what makes this such a great country, we can disagree and still agree. Thanks for your comments, That Guy.

When did President Obama convey a belief that "we are one of the largest Muslim nations"? Clarify, please.
