I think it's silly that they wouldn't air it, because they are concerned over this one line: "We celebrate the birth of Jesus and the season of giving, bringing hope to the many children, parents and families that we serve."
Come on, if that offends you, you need help. ESPN has an oversensitive policy and it won't hurt anything to air an ad for a children's hospital.

That's it? Really... That's it?
Maybe the non-Christians should stop being so damn sensitive.

I agree it shouldn't offend you, but it shouldn't offend you if they chose not to air it because of that. There is power in advertisement, and if a company chooses to be completely neutral, I don't think that should offend you. There are lots of Jews and Muslims out there, and over the course of the holidays, if you saw an ad about some Muslim thing on ESPN over and over again, I don't think you would like it. I know I wouldn't. I have a buddy returning from Afghanistan for the last time, and I'm sure he doesn't want to have to have Islamic religious reminders blasted at him when all he wants to do is watch football...

You think this way, I am sure, because you are Christian. I don't mind it either.
But let's take another example. Let's say Allah was mentioned, in lieu of Jesus. How many nutsos do you predict would be offended and boycotting ESPN?

Considering Jesus most likely wasn't born in December and that Christmas in it's essence is a Pagan holiday, maybe ESPN was just trying to get the hospital to be factually accurate?
