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.
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?

Then, I probably would not donate a single penny. Problem solved for smart folks that can separate and ignore the devil-worshiping/terrorist message.

That is a very real problem for ESPN. It's much easier to accept that 90% of its viewers are mouth-breathing fricktards, and just NOT air an advertisement that said pooh-flingers would not understand or ignore, than to get some money for the ad and lose tons of viewers.
MAKE NO MISTAKE!!! ESPN made BOTH decisions based on the one God that governs all: MONEY!!!

Probably quite a few. I wouldn't be one of them, but quite a few. But Islam has a much different history with this country in the last 20 years than Christianity does. I'm not saying their reactions would be correct, but this equivalence you're trying to make is false.
A Christian holiday is the most widely celebrated holiday in America, even among non-Christians. I can respect that ESPN is trying to be all 'we don't want to promote any particular religion,' but it's not like this is two minutes of Tim Tebow trying to proselytize and get people to pray. It's one line in an ad for a children's hospital and isn't that big of a deal.

All worldviews are not the same. The religons of Christ and Mohammed are not moral equivalents. And the contributions of Islam to American history pale in comparison to that of Christianity.
