Comments on: Tim Tebow Super Bowl Ad Drives Some Women Crazy

- We all have to stand up for something, but most times the person espousing their beliefs are those who are running with a portion of society that has not quite socially progressed. Just because you believe in something does not give you a free pass, nor a congratulatory comment, for expressing it during a major American event. Pedophiles, molesters, thieves, and other socially defunct citizens also believe in something, but I do not want to have my time or experience wasted having to be subjected to it. Focus on the Family should actually do what its title states. Instead, it tries to drive a wedge between Americans due to its bedrock of socially regressive christian principles. I have personal beliefs, but I do not feel the need to broadcast them to an audience that does not want to hear them. Tim Tebow, please take your belief system and chuck it out-of-bounds (you know how to do that right?). Lastly, maybe Florida may have won the ACC had someone else been quarterback...ever think of that? Sports is a time for the family to root for their favorite team and enjoy the event; not to be subjected to politicized "belief-systems" from the socially defunct.

- Thank you Thank you Thank you CBS for running the focus on the family/tim tebow ad. I for one am excited to see it. God bless you Tim for standing up for what you believe, God bless you tim's mom for having the faith to see your pregnance through and God bless you Dr. Dobson for your obedience to an almighty God.

- Kudos to CBS, Focus on the Family, and Pam Tebow for reviving our appreciation for life.
Even though Pam Tebow?s decision was a personal decision (that should only be made by a mother and her family) Pam?s message pricks our conscience by reminding us how positive results come to us when courage enters a decision. This is not only an ad about pro-life advocacy, it?s an ad about courage. Which is befitting for airing during one of the most daring, spectacular, and courageous events in American culture; The ?Super Bowl.?

- My problem isn't the pro-life ad, I believe everyone can make the decision for themselves. It's your body and you do with it what you want or what you belive. No one should force their beliefs on you. Air it, don't air it.
The problem I have with the Tebow commerical is one of course it's not my belief (neither here nor there)
but that CBS has rejected a GoDaddy.com ad that features an effeminate former football player-turned lingerie designer, and the Man Crunch commercial that shows two male football fans kissing.
No I'm not gay, but there is nothing wrong with it. Again up to the person and what they want or belive. These compaines also paid for ad space and CBS made the decision not to air them! So why is it okay to air an ad that is also as or not more controversial as those are??? There are so many ads on TV today that are going to upset, or offend someone. As Americans we are defintley prudes, at least that's what the english call us.
I say that if they won't air the others then they shouldn't air Tebow's and his mommy. I am happy for her that she made that decision to have him, it worked out great for her and her family. These are personal decisions that should be made by that person and their families. - Reply to this comment
- LOL......all this drama over a commercial that has nothing to do with anyone but the people involved in the commercial. Who cares why they are doing the commercial, why is it any of our business?! People just want something to complain about, gossip about, whine about. If we truely had freedom of speech the commercial would not be an issue but apparently it is an issue for some people and those of you who are against the commercial are ignorant and you probably should get back to work and focus on your own life instead of trying to interfere or figure out someone else life......Seriously GET A LIFE!!!!

- I am a woman and I would not find the ad about Tim Tebow and his mother offensive. If anything it would be inspiring and uplifting. I do not understand why some groups like NOW and Women's Media Center are in such an uproar. If they want to purchase time for their message let them. I may not agree with their message but I do believe in free speech and the choice not to watch their commercial if I did not agree. If CBS can air ads that promote drinking and sex, I do not see why they cannot air an ad that promotes family. It would be nice to see such a positive ad aired during the Super Bowl. I applaud you CBS, if you air the commercial. We should not be afraid for others to express their views.

- If we can have commercials pushing sex(uality), alcohol and Viagra, I think it's fair to represent the Sanctity of Human Life.

- In the midst of all the controversy, whomever wants to purchase a time slot should have that right. I am pro-life and definately support that commercial and am tired of these people who come out with their double standards thinking that their rights and the rights of others who don't have the same views as they do are... not the same. Ok, I don't care to see half naked women parading all over my screen yet I just ignore it and those who disagree with the Tebow commercial should just do the same. Sit down and shut up and realize that there are othere people out there who have the same rights as they do. I am tired of these people coming in and taking away our rights as documented in the Constitution. SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP! CHANGE THE CHANNEL!.You are NOT being tied down and forced to watch it. Get up, go to the bathroom, get a snack, a drink, change the channel but don't sit there and think you are superior to everyone else! YOU ARE NOT!

- Even if this ad were to be pulled, we'd still be talking about this on game day. Check out our thoughts at http://justaskawoman.com/wsnty/

- The Super Bowl should be a unifying event that is enjoyed by all Americans. It should not be a platform from which to champion any political or philosophical views; especially views which many find polarizing.
This is a not a question of free speech or how you feel about an issue; it is a question of civility and appropriateness. There is not much hope for this country when we cannot put down the bickering for a few hours and come together in a sense of community.
I am suprised that the NFL and CBS would think any amount of money would be worth allowing a devisive issue to tarnish their brand. Perhaps I am a fool dreaming of a more perfect union. It appears if you have the money you get in somebody's face at anytime you want. What a shame. - Reply to this comment
