Tim Tebow Deserves Applause
Tim Tebow’s now controversial ad to appear during the super Bowl has drawn a lot of fire and crticism from those who protest the pro-life stance of the commercial. In the midst of all this, Roland S. Martin, a CNN political analyst, writes:
As a paying entity, Focus on the Family has a right to spend the $2.6 million it will cost to air the ad anyway they please. Had Tebow and his mom joined with Focus on the Family to do an ad asking for more donations for Haitian relief, funding missionary work in nation’s across the world, or even asking Christians to unite and pray daily for America, would people be up in arms? Not at all. He would be hailed as the All-American kid he has been routinely portrayed as over his stellar career.
Martin aptly summarizes his article with the following:
Instead of slamming Tebow, let’s thank him for being an athlete who shows more conviction in his personal life, rather than being convicted of a crime in a courtroom.
I learned more about Tebow’s story from the news coverage of the controversy than the actual commercial. If I hadn’t known the whole story, I would not have guessed she was talking about abortion since she didn’t mention it.
