About this Petition Petition Letter

Despite the NCAA's decision to pull the Focus ads from their Web site NCAA.com, there's still feelings of concern that CBS will run "Focus on the Family" ads during the telecast of the men's basketball "March Madness" tournament. Check out the YouTube clip below from Sean Chapin, and notice how Chapin ties together the history of homophobia that has reverberated from Focus on the Family's mouths over the years with CBS.

Send an email message to NCAA to tell them not to financially benefit from TV ads from "Focus on the Family." You can also call the NCAA Public Relations at 317 917 6762 as well as the NCAA Main Number at 317 917 6222.

NCAA: Celebrate All Families

Dear NCAA Public Relations,

Political organizations such as 'Focus on the Family (FOTF)' and the 'American Family Association (AFA)' are well-known by the American public for there controversial and discriminatory advertising. The FOTF and AFA continually contradict or ignore the NCAA's stated commitment and policies of non-discrimination, values of diversity and inclusiveness of all people. NCAA has responded in the past by not buying advertisements specifically from the FOTF political organization. Because of those valid reasons alone NCAA can not financially benefit from media advertisements that FOTF create for NCAA related events. I urge NCAA to take action, in order to celebrate all families and all lives. Thank you for understanding.

Signed,

[Your name]
