South Florida Church Blitzes Fox Over Rejected Super Bowl Ad

Submitted by Anonymous on February 4, 2011 - 4:07pm

Drawing a bight line between church and network, Fox still refuses to air a Super Bowl ad that highlights the biblical passage, John 3:16.

South Florida pastor Mark Boykin says there will be hell to pay for that decision.

The senior pastor ofthe Church of All Nationsand the Christian Family Coalition have launched a nationwide letter-writing campaign calling on the Federal Communications Commission to hold a hearing on why Fox "discriminates against Christians."

Fox executives said they rejected the ad because it contained "religious doctrine."

Unimpressed by that terse rationale, Boykin called it "a prime example of Christian bashing."

"Fox Sportsmust be held accountable for their actions. We are contacting thousands of churches, faith-based groups and other organizations to flood both the FCC and Fox Networks with complaints," he said.

Boykin is also filing a formal complaint to the FCC.
