Thus, these drug pushers are telling our children to use drugs for fun, and for sexual gratification. Such a message is inappropriate for responsible adults, much less children, and so should be limited to adult programming only. Sports are most certainly not adult programming. Whatever venue is appropriate for these types of advertisements, it should be far away from impressionable young minds. Sport events teach our children so many good things -- about teamwork, hard work, and the healthy spirit of competition. We want our kids to absorb the positive messages from sports, and to that end we encourage them to not only participate in sports but also to watch them on television. This means that sports events should always be considered family-friendly programming, especially in day time and prime time when children are awake and can watch. As male dysfunction ads should be banned from all family-friendly programming, this ban should naturally apply to televised sports events as well.

As adults, we have the duty to act responsibly with our children. It is our job to give them the knowledge that they need to be intelligent, hard-working, honest people.

The ads may not be targeted at young minds, but when these products are promoted on televised sporting events, they reach those young minds nevertheless. It is essential that as adults we take more responsibility for the types of messages that reach our children. As parents we want to be able to control what our children learn about sex and drugs. Advertising for male dysfunction drugs on prime time television takes away this ability to be good parents. It takes away the ability for our children to learn the positivity of sport, because we must prohibit them from watching. There is nothing inherently adult about sport, but there is about the ads on sports. And that is what should change. Family-friendly programming should only be allowed to have family-friendly advertising, not ads for male dysfunction drugs.
There is a right way and a wrong way for a child to learn about sex. A parent should always have control, but in many cases today that means forbidding our children from watching sports. This costs our children the right to learn about competition, the benefits of physical activity, and the benefits of teamwork. It is time for parents to take back sporting events by calling for a ban on the advertisement of male dysfunction drugs during prime time sporting events when young children are watching.
