It's very strange to see a pro-life commercial with pro-footballers who are not abstinent
I mean, like what are we talking about here. An event that has men who attract lots of groupies. Men that aren't known to be saving it up for marriage or have a significant percentage who aren't faithful to their wives are on a TV show that has an advertisement against abortion?

Like do these guys really want ALL their girls to carry their babies and be responsible for them afterwards? I would tend to think that pro-football would be one of the biggest advocates of a pro-choice platform and big fans of Planned Parenthood. It would make more sense to me if there was a big condom commercial on the SuperBowl.

I suppose, there is always Nancy Reagan's ever popular, "Just Say, No.".... but really, are these guys going to "Just Say NO?"

So who's going to pick up the pieces?

2. which commercial was that? The Tim Tebow commercial?
he is not a pro.

And that commercial was certainly tame, in my opinion, as compared to what was expected.

4. Not a pro, and still a virgin.
Quarterback Tim Tebow Answers: He's a Virgin

<snip>

"During an SEC media news day conference, quarterback Tim Tebow of the Florida Gators shocked reporters by answering the question, "Are you a virgin?" with an unequivocal "yes." While Tim Tebow was not embarrassed by his answer, an ongoing debate has erupted: should the reported have asked such a question in the first place?"

9. "It's very strange to see a pro-life commercial with pro-footballers who are not abstinent.."
If the OP is referring to the Tim Tebow ad, then it's relevant to point out that Tebow claims to be a virgin.

How long until some woman comes forward with a story (or video) of TT doing the 2 backed beast.

You can't possibly be talking about the Tim Tebow commercial.
