CBS urged to scrap Super Bowl ad with Tebow, mom

A national columnist for CBSSports.com, Gregg Doyel, also objected to the CBS decision to show the ad, specifically because it would air on Super Sunday.
"If you're a sports fan, and I am, that's the holiest day of the year," he wrote. "It's not a day to discuss abortion. For it, against it, I don't care what you are. On Super Sunday, I don't care what I am. Feb. 7 is simply not the day to have that discussion."

This question from a previous post of mine is worth repeating.

Who is Gregg Doyel?

I don't really know what to say about this ad, but it may be interesting to watch some people squirm over this.

It's interesting that the left is all for the First Ammendment until someone wants to say something that doesn't agree with their policies.

I wonder what people would say in this thread if they ran a women's choice commercial during the super bowl?

No, it's a christian group trying to take advantage of tebow's celebrity to jam their abortion views, and his, in the country's face--tell young women how they should live their lives. It's what they do. Knowing how these groups operate, i'm sure the story from tebow and his mom will be so very touching and so very untrue. Play pro football, if you can, tebow, and keep your religious stuff in your church.

I'm sure women all over American will be touched that tebow and his fellow religious fanatics care so much about their lives. My hero! :naughty:

Good one. The other side plays nice and that's why they have the moral high ground.

they're paying for an ad. If they get turned down it's not a free speech issue. It's not like he being prevented from preaching on a street corner

I'm conservative, but if they were going to show a pro choice ad, I'm sure many would go into complete meltdown.

The other side could just do their own ad, if they have the cash. I'm sure CBS would like that as it would take the onus off of them.

I wonder what the other companies that spent millions on advertising space would have to say if people turned CBS off because of an ad focused on such a controversial issue, which caused their ad to be missed.

Liberals never take advantage of celebrities to shove their viewpoints down our throats, never.

Thoughts on this issue are just funny. I find it funny that beer commercials are OK even when they help kill thousands of people a year in car crashes and help divide some alcoholic families and nobody argues about them and the one's who object the anti-abortion ads are the very one's who their moms gave the chance to live. There is only one choice, the one made at conception. Don't want a child then wear a rubber. Abortion is murder not a choice

How about a compromise. The ad stays and Janet Jackson gets to show both of her boobies during the halftime show. This will bring us all together!

I'm sure some folks don't like ED commercials.

I'd rather not see a pro-life or pro-choice commercial during the SB (or any time for that matter) but it's CBS's call and people are free to ignore.

Above all, I don't want to see a Tebow commercial for any product or cause.
