Props to Tim Tebow

I don't know how many of you have heard that Tim Tebow, the former standout QB for the Florida Gators, is doing an anti-abortion Super Bowl ad. This ad is slated to be aired by CBS, and is being done with the financial backing of Focus on the Family. I have not yet seen the ad (I don't think anyone has yet...) but I wanted to give some support to Mr. Tebow for such a bold move.

The outspoken man has already used his fame to promote the case for Christianity in numerous ways. For example, when he wore "John 3:16" in his black eye paint in the national championship game versus the Oklahoma Sooners, Google recorded over 90 millions searches for the passage. There are numerous sports articles, both in national and local newspapers, as well as magazines and websites that attest to the impact Tebow's outspoken faith has had on people. The man has been consistent with his faith in both good times and bad.

Until now, he has not done anything too controversial in the name of his faith. Now, he is taking on one of the most controversial subjects in America. People still are killing and dying over the issue. NOW, Feminist Majority, and Women's Media Center are all sounding the alarm at the "bias" being shown by CBS for allowing this ad to air.

Tebow is trying to begin a career in the NFL, where this high profile statement might not be well received by all owners. Additionally, this probably will not help him get any juicy endorsement deals any time soon. Tebow knows this, and is still going forward with his cause.

For this, Tim Tebow, I salute you.
