THE NATURE OF RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY (click here)
Matthew Shepard Foundation (click here)Not because it is ProLife, but, it violates Civil Rights in the USA. The organizers of the Super Bowl that will take place this Sunday have refused to carry ads from other 'civic minded' groups. They are also NOT carrying the life histories of other players.
There is no equity in how the organizers are conducting their merchandising. I don't believe 'first come, first served' is appropriate when the content is intended to sawy political issues. On every venue of journalism there are demands for equal time. The 'faux' ad on Sunday will bring a 'paid for TV political ad' to the screen without equal time allowed for those that feel differently.
The organizers of the Super Bowl are breaking laws in the USA and allowing 'favored' status to a particular political issue.
The groups most effected by these hostile actions should be filing for injunctions at the very least. Besides the obvious hostility toward women, the religious preference is nothing but dangerous. I oppose the political use of any sports event where there are Americans from every cultural and religious background being exposed to such bigotry.
While the player mentioned as more important to the game by the fact that he simply breaths and lives might have an interesting story, the only reality that comes across to me is that he beat the odds. Fine, other don't.
