You may be die hard football fans.

Me? I choose who I wan to win based on weather and uniform colors. It’s very scientific.

But I’ve always loved watching the Super Bowl.

  • Fun Healthy Snacks
  • Delicious not-healthy snacks
  • Hilarious and heart warming commercials
  • Amazing Half-time shows

This is not a “Don’t watch the Super Bowl Rant”, but there is a BIG problem and our kids can help!!

What was once a wonderful family afternoon has morphed into a hide your kid’s eyes event during half-time.

No matter where you stand, we all agree that the half-time shows are Anti-Family friendly.

Let’s teach our kids how to attack hard things like this head on.

Do something.

Refuse to complain. Be the change.

  • Write to everyone important you can think of who CAN make a change.
  • Get your family and friends, schools and co-ops, churches and sports teams to join in too.

Refuse to participate.

This one means being willing to say no to things you love.

  • Big changes may need a financial cost attached.
  • With the Super Bowl, money will talk.
  • If enough people refuse to watch or buy products from advertisers who endorse the anti-family half-time show… things will change.

But I’m just a kid!

You have time and energy that CAN make a difference!

When you get mad or offended, come up with a solution and get your voice or idea in front of the correct people!

Who is in charge? Decide to write.

  • What’s their address?
  • Email address?
  • Facebook profile?
  • Instagram?

Get creative!

  • Make a video and share
  • Write an essay and submit it everywhere
  • Interview many people and collect data. Are you the only one who sees the problem?
Let’s teach our kids how to FIX things.
