This is not the issue. The issue YOU raised was that Allred was disputing Pam Tebow’s story. You can use Allred to provide an argument for choice, but not details of what happened to Pam Tebow. Allred wan’t there, and has no idea. She’s just disputing it for publicity.

“To think that Tebow doesn’t welcome the spotlight is just you sticking your head in the sand.”

So what if he does? I never said he didn’t. In fact, I’m sure he’s happy to get the opportunity to share his faith with as many people as possible. That’s what Christians do. I just don’t know why you’re so offended by it. Would you rather he flash gang signs and shoot himself in the leg while beating up a pregnant girlfriend?

“would you be defending a Bradford/McCoy pro-choice ad during the super bowl?”

Defending, no. But I wouldn’t be whining about it, either. If someone has a message they want to share, and can pay for it, as long as it is tasteful, I have no problem with it.

Look, I love football. College, pro, Pee-Wee, whatever. But I see too many instances of players who get in the news for all the wrong reasons. What is so wrong about celebrating a player who is doing what he feels is right?

Are you dense enough to think that I meant Colt McCoy was a Satanist? Come on guy, do you even watch football? Both McCoy and Bradford do as much outside of football, and went on missions over the summer this past season…yet they aren’t being interviewed on ESPN like they reinvented the wheel. To think that Tebow doesn’t welcome the spotlight is just you sticking your head in the sand. It is his decision to field an interview with anyone regarding his faith, if he wasn’t outwardly politicking for more face time with an agenda people would not have such vitriol for him.

So, as I said…would you be defending a Bradford/McCoy pro-choice ad during the super bowl? Because I still wouldn’t…politics has its place, and the sports world (especially the super bowl) is not the place.

Are you seriously going to use Allred (a pro-choice activist and attorney) as a source for an argument??? Tebow’s mom was in the Phillipines, but could have come to the States for the abortion. So Allred’s accusation is a moot point, but is a convenient excuse for her to put her mug on camera.

Do you have a problem with PSA’s about domestic violence, Big Brothers, Haiti relief, and United Way airing during the SB? Why is this any different, just because you don’t agree with the message?

I didn’t realize Colt McCoy was a Satanist. Can you back that up, or are you just trying to cloud the issue? Even if he was, if he wants to go public with that, and if he can find someone to pay for it, go ahead. It would be career suicide.

I’m not ignoring a story that is being openly refuted by Gloria Allred, as abortions have been strickly forbidden by extreme penalty. Interview here…http://tinyurl.com/yhzy6sa

The story is exactly that. A story that is being used to sensationalize a storyline that has NO business being aired during a sports broadcast. If it is a anti-steroid ad, or anti-violence ad, or an anti-scantily clad women ad (what the hell? scantily clad women? at what game? are you watching old XFL videos?).

No on watching the Super Bowl is interested in hearing about Tebow’s story, it has a place on Dateline or 60 Minutes. I tune in to the SB for the football, the ‘Roided up freaks hitting each other violently for my amusement, and for the ridiculous, hilarious, stupid, idiotic commercials. Leave the politicking and religion at the door. Tebow will have plenty of exposure to push his beliefs out in the open, as he already has, during his interesting NFL/UFL/CFL career.

One thing you’ve ignored…would you be ok with Colt McCoy’s ad being aired that touts the power of Satan that gave him his amazing accuracy on passes less than 6 yards? I mean, he’s just using his visibility, as expected, as a Satanist. Right?

The point is that football (and its accoutrements) presents a distorted morality; giant men on steroids, acting in a violent manner, surrounded by scantily clad women, in 70,000 seat temples.

Tebow’s story presents a good opportunity to balance that out. His beliefs aren’t being “forced” on you, any more than Budweiser is forcing you to drink their beer.

What do you say we get rid of all the cheerleaders? After all, they don’t contribute to the actual playing of the game, right? And let’s get rid of the announcers. And the nachos, hot dogs, brats, and beer. If you “just want to enjoy the game”, you shouldn’t need any of that stuff… right?

The people complaining about Tebow, are these the same people who justify the antics of Ochocinco after a TD, by saying “He’s just being himself”?

Tebow can’t help who he is. As a Christian, he is expected to use his visibility to present a Christian image, and that’s just what he’s doing.

He’s being himself, and I find that admirable, not something to make fun of. If you don’t like that, then don’t watch “hours of pre-game coverage”.
