When Did The Bowl Get Political?

I remember learning a while back that sports, mainly the larger events, won’t do political advertising because it sends the wrong message, and it has a tendency to show bias on an issue.
So how come the super bowl plans to show some anti-abortion ad? It’s one thing to advocate for beer or chips. The story being portrayed in this ad is that abortion is never good, and you should never choose it, it’s 100% political and it’s invading football, do they really have that much money?
Of course the story itself is one in which I would see no reason to disagree. His mother was in a foreign country and she didn’t go along with their suggestion, but why should this case be the poster child for every case? What about the mother who’s life is in danger because he child is being born in a way that is dangerous, what about the girl who made her own personal choice? It’s futile for males to be the main recipients of this advertising too, what the fuck right do I have, or any male without a doctors degree, to suggest what a woman should or shouldn’t do with her uterus. You don’t need an advertisement to explain people what their options are, you need a doctor, and anyone making their decision based on advertising shouldn’t be allowed to be making decisions…ever.
