Who Needs The Super Bowl?

I’m fairly knowledgeable about sports. And while football is not at the top of my sports-following pecking order (which starts with soccer, baseball, and college basketball), I have always watched the Super Bowl.

But not this year. CBS has decided to politicize the Super Bowl by allowing a pro-life (or, at a minimum, anti-abortion) to air. While CBS has had a “non-advocacy” policy in recent years (even barring this hardly controversial UCC ad in 2004), they announced a policy change in allowing the anti-abortion ad:

CBS said Tuesday that the decision to air the Tebow ad reflected a change in its policies toward advocacy ads that has evolved over the past several years.

Of course, progressives immediately tested this new policy with a ad for a gay dating web site. CBS’s response? Rejection.

No problem, CBS. I get the message. If you want only conservatives to watch this year’s Super Bowl, I’m happy to oblige. My friends and I will be baking some desserts, playing Settlers of Catan, and popping in a DVD tonight at our anti-Super Bowl party.
