Tim Tebow Reveals the One Victory That Beats Winning the Super Bowl Hands Down

In a poignant keynote address at the annual Kansans for Life Valentine’s Day banquet in 2020, former NFL star Tim Tebow reminded us why so many people love him. During his speech, Tebow affirmed his unwavering commitment to the pro-life cause, declaring that he would rather be known for saving unborn children from abortion than winning the Super Bowl.

It's a speech worth remembering today, the day after Super Bowl LVIII. The former athlete’s life story has played a substantial role in motivating his pro-life activism and highlights the importance of safeguarding the lives of the innocent.

Tebow’s speech came after remarks from other leaders, including Mary Kay Culp, co-owner of the Kansas City Chiefs Lamar Hunt, and others.

The highlight of the evening for many was the keynote address by Tim Tebow, former quarterback for the Denver Broncos. “It is such an honor to be here,” Tebow said as he thanked the archbishop, politicians, and Culp for work on behalf of the unborn. Tebow also thanked Hunt for “having courage in the face of a lot of other people who don’t have it and for your willingness to be up here and support this organization.”

The former NFL star also pointed out that winning the Super Bowl can provide other pro-life athletes with a bigger platform to spread the message. Tebow’s life and career have been a testament to his Christian beliefs, which has often garnered criticism from the left.

Nevertheless, he's continued to live out his beliefs on and off the field and has become a beloved figure in American society because of it.

A Lawsuit Seeks to Stop the National Destruction of Trucking Through the DOL Indep. Contractor Rule

The pushback on the U.S. Department of Labor Independent Contractor Rule continues apace and has gotten fresh ammunition. This 2024 Rule uses the Fair Labor Standards Act to reinterpret the distinction between employees and independent contractors and would adopt a six-pronged test with vague and open-ended requirements to tear down the independent contractor business model, eliminating the freedom of flexibility to call one's own work hours, what work one chooses to take on, and whom one chooses to partner with in that work. This would be a nationwide standard that has no exemptions.

The U.S. DOL is using bureaucratic means to make an end-run around already failed legislation (see The PRO Act) in order to destroy independent professionals and small businesses across the nation. The Rule embeds the same tenets found in the ABC Test, which supports AB5, and we all know how well that went in California.

The state's trucking industry, in particular, continues to fight hard against AB5, and their battle is being watched by the rest of the industry in other states. Now, a Louisiana business has filed a lawsuit to stop the rule, which is scheduled to take effect on March 11.

A lawsuit filed on Thursday in Louisiana federal court seeks to challenge a Biden administration rule that would reclassify independent contractors as employees.

The U.S. Department of Labor's rule is set to take effect March 11, though it is being challenged in multiple states. Julie Su, interim secretary of the department, has said misclassification "deprives workers of basic rights and protections" and believes the rule "will help protect workers." The plaintiffs in the lawsuit disagree with the government's contention.

California Congressman Kevin Kiley, who has seen the harm AB5 did to California firsthand, has stated he will seek to have the rule rescinded using the Congressional Review Act.
