National Organization For Women Accuses Tim Tebow Of Promoting Domestic Violence?
NOW (National Organization for Women) President Terry O'Neill is upset with Pam and Tim Tebow after they appeared in an ad sponsored by the pro-life organization Focus on the Family, but not because of its pro-life message (which was actually tastefully done in my opinion). O'Neill is accusing the Tebows of promoting domestic violence because Tim tackles his mother at one point as she's trying to tell her story. O'Neill claims that the message of domestic violence being OK is much more pronounced and damaging than the anti-abortion stance the ad promotes. I personally have nothing against NOW but this claim is absolutely ridiculous, I'd bet you couldn't find more than 5 people in a room of 100 who share O'Neill's feelings and who didn't feel the Tebows came across as happy, caring and loving. I'm upset with O'Neill because she made no mention of an ad that ran about 10 minutes later that glorified Betty White getting her clocked cleaned going across the middle in a pick-up game.
Terry O'Neill is bothering me so much because I think she was prepared to make a very big scene condemning Tim Tebow for appearing in an anti-abortion ad during the Super Bowl. O'Neill and others, myself included, were expecting Tim to make a much bolder statement that NOW could jump on and use to make Tebow a villain. I think most people were caught a little off-guard when we saw how subtle and tastefully done the Tebow's commercial was. I feel people like O'Neill like enjoy making a stink about stuff like this because they get to be the center of attention and I think she was annoyed that Tim and Pam Tebow disarmed her of that. It would be one thing if O'Neill had a problem with all of the violence that was glorified during the game (there were least 8 or 9 other ads that one could say were just as bad not to mention the fact that this was a football game where we are treated to a 22-man medieval battle every 30 seconds). I think this just goes to show that nobody can beat Tim Tebow at anything, ever. Yet all the more reason he should become a politician after his playing days are over.
