Tim Tebow Superbowl Commercial getting some bad press

Say what you want about his quarterbacking skills, but it seems as though no one seems to think it's OK for a someone to pay out $3.1 million dollars for 30 seconds and have their views on subjects such as this represented by a famous collegiate QB. Especially during the Superbowl.

"I don't feel like I'm very preachy about it, but I do stand up for what I believe. Unfortunately in today's society, not many athletes seem to do that. I always stand for something."

Wow does anyone else think that comes across as extremely arrogant and superior?

[mmmbeans]

he's free to do what he wants but I think it makes him look like a farking douchbag.

[Matt Foley]

As long as he realizes what he's setting himself up for, I have no problem with it. If he came out with a pro-choice ad, the people complaining now would be for him and vice versa.

I don't know about all that.

Immature stance? Perhaps. From what I understand, the ad is his mom talking about how she was advised by dr's to abort. She didn't and here is Timmy.

She made a CHOICE and the outcome worked out pretty well.

The pro choice crowd doesn't like it but the ad is NOT slamming the abortion crowd, simply, again, from what I have gathered, a positive message of a womans choice in that scenario.

If they pay $3.5 million who cares

[Johnny Rockets]

No such thing as bad press.....the "outrage" is actually helping his cause. Now they have the attention of people who won't be watching the Superbowl with the media talking about it.

So are you trying to tell us that this is a pro choice ad? HAHAHA

Here's the deal, she HAD the choice. She has the choice. She will have the choice.

The ad is about trying to convince at risk pregnant women that hey, maybe they could live through a pregnancy that their doctor does not recommend they try to do! Just forget what your doctor tells you and go for it!

Their bodies, their choice.

If they want to go through a risky pregnancy, then they need to know that it's okay for them to do so.

Harrah's commercials and NC Lottery commercials encourage me in the same way to blow all of my money in casinos and on scratch off cards. Should they be taken off the air?

Tell me, why do you hate liberty so much?

Yep, this should clear this thread into the tinderbox in 5,4,3,2...

So someone is spending 3.1 million dollars to remind people that they don't have to listen to their doctors. That's great.

[Epistaxis]

Good pub for now, since most likely he will be riding the pine and a complete afterthought once he makes it to the NFL.

He is a pretty lousy QB, but from what I hear he is pretty good at circumcisions in the 3rd world. Holy Mohely.

[Mr. Scot]

Say the same thing here I said elsewhere...

How many people on here could even tell you what any Panther player's political views are?

Character issues matter. Political beliefs don't. I'm not going to pick what team I cheer for based on who has the most conservatives. Nor do I think any other fan - conservative or liberal - would choose on such criteria.

You are the one jumping too conclusions. She is highlighting the outcome of a good choice.

So, in the middle of this so called choice facade, the doctor, NOT the woman, is the decider?

Are dr's infallable and never wrong? Of course not. Are there some bad examples of women who did not listen to their doc and the outcomes were bad? Yep. But those women had that choice.

So fake outrage is exclusive to what liberals do wrong? ha ha ha ha

The message of risking a life to save a life isn't a noble cause to you?

Remind me not to hang off of any cliffs near you.
