Last week I came across an interesting column by Sally Jenkins:  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/01/AR2010020102067.html.  

This article talked about a controversial pro-life ad played during the Super Bowl featuring University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow.  Essentially, the ad unsurprisingly drew some controversy from pro-choice organizations, considering Tebow is a relatively well-know face, and therefore could potentially have impacted the way millions of people view abortion.

But I didn’t post about this article just to say that I disagree with those who felt the ad should not have been run.

I share it because I think it highlights a future NFL player that will be highly successful with his professional career because he is such an incredibly genuine guy.  And I really enjoyed how Jenkins, a column writer, was able to address a touchy subject and still strongly support her argument.

I really enjoy reading editorials because I think they encourage the reader to take some sort of stand on the issue being addressed… to CARE about what’s going on in the world!  Of course, news articles that just serve to inform us are necessary.  But at the end of the day, I enjoy reading about something that’s going to make me want to talk about what I just read with someone else and have some sort of interesting discussion. 

For me, Sally Jenkins’ column did just that.
