Huffington Post: When audiences finally got to see the much-talked-about pro-life Superbowl ad featuring Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow in January, many were taken aback by its innocuousness. Tebow had been criticized by many for teaming with Colorado Springs-based religious organization Focus on the Family to spread a message that many expected to be overtly political and anti-abortion. Instead, the commercial featured Tebow's Mother Pam telling the story of Tim's birth, and didn't mentioned abortion even once.
Nevertheless, Tebow's work with Focus on the Family has made him a pariah to some would-be endorsement partners. Speaking to a crowd in Florida, Tebow said that that at least a few sponsors told Tebow he could not sell their products after making the Focus on the Family ad.
Tebow, however, told the crowd that making the ad was well worth whatever endorsements he may lose.
