The most discussed topic leading up to the Super Bowl might not have anything to do with the Saints or Colts. Former Florida Quarterback and potential NFL Draft Pick Tim Tebow is scheduled to appear in two pro-life commercials during the game. It’s not known what the contents of the commercials are, but they are paid for by Focus on the Family and said to celebrate life. Abortion groups are trying to pull the ad from CBS. The back story is Tebow was born in the Philippines, his mother a Christian missionary was urged to have an abortion. I wonder how Tebow will use his platform as a Pro and will he be outspoken. Also will he have an effect on how other athletes use their public presence?
Tim might remind people there are more important things in life than football games. I have a feeling we'll see a lot of anti Tebow stories over the next few weeks.
