Broncos TV Games Will Have Focus On The Family Ads

Tebow

The Denver Post:

Focus on the Family denies that the crossover appeal of religious rookie quarterback Tim Tebow is the sole reason the conservative Christian ministry has, for the first time, bought statewide TV ads to air during Denver Broncos games.

But it didn't hurt.

So the Broncos have no problem aligning itself with a known hate group, Focus on the Family. Wonder how that's going to work in the NFL's diversity goals seeing how FOTF is an organization that targets several people and several groups of people.

I'll be sure to not watch any of the games.

Tebow is the reason I don't root for the Broncos anymore.

It is within the rights of the Focus on the Family to do this. Freedom of Religion and other parts of the First Amendments. I have right not to watch the commercials and not support anything to do with the organization or Tebow.

Wonderful! A hate mongering, hypocritical organization filled with smug, holier than thou jerks who will do anything, or say anything to take the civil rights away from others and forcefully impose their will and "morals" on everyone else will be getting the chance to advertise during Bronco Football!
They havent played their first game and already I am sick of Tim Tebow.
-Keep your religion in the churches where it belongs. I dont watch football to get lectured or listen to a sermon.

Go Bears!

Good. This gives me another good reason not to watch the Broncos given that they are going to stink this season which proves that this coach doesn't know what the he!! he is doing. Hope I can get Redskin games on Direct TV.

Right - announce a whole load of layoffs and then say you are going to run expensive ads during a football game.

This organization is nuts.
