The recent announcement that Tim Tebow and his mother will appear in a pro-life Super Bowl ad has generated much criticism, but such appearances are not new to football, as evidenced by a video published by the American Life League in 2007.
The 1986 Super Bowl featured the New York Giants vs. the Denver Broncos, with the Giants besting the Broncos 39-20.
Following their victory, six different members of the team spoke in a video about the evil of abortion. They used their personal experience, tying it into their experience on the field, to show just what they thought of the practice of killing potential future champions in the womb.
The video, in its entirety, can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wShTRUGdGAA
