Yes, but that does not matter as the NFL will not permit this ad to air.

The first reason is that the NFL does not want their political issues as part of their broadcast and does not want to set a precedence where they would also have to sell time to a Pro-Abortion group.

Second, if they were to air the Tebow Pro Life ad, the price for the ad spots just prior to and after the Tebow ad would drop in value.

“the first reason is that the NFL does not want their political issues “

But they’ll push other political causes.

“Second, if they were to air the Tebow Pro Life ad, the price for the ad spots just prior to and after the Tebow ad would drop in value.”

How? The before would not be impacted as nobody knows whats coming next.

The after would benefit from all the discussion and attention this one gets.

But you’re right, the NFL won’t allow a conservative cause like this to buy an add. Let alone the Christian message thats attached.

I agree. Super Bowl Day is about mindless entertainment. Football games are the last place people do serious thinking about hotly charged, highly divisive political issues. There’s a reason why Tebow’s mother would do it and not Tebow himself.

Also the networks may be considering the feelings of millions of post-abortive women watching the show, who also want to have fun and enjoyment, not have this ad come on and remind them they’re a “murderer.”
