Real Christians need to think about giving their money to the NFL that obviously does not welcome Christian athletes who witness to the faith.

You don’t actually watch any pro football, do you?
It may come as a surprise to you, then, that being a really devout Christian does not mean you are also a contract worthy quarterback. 2 entirely different skill sets.
Tebow has plenty of the first (devout Christian) and a deficit of the other (contract worth qb skills).
Of course, he’d have a contract in a New York minute with an NFL team if he recognized he could contribute mightily in a position other than QB.
>>And Michael Vick has an NFL job.<<
Go figger. But take heart. Vick will always be 3rd tier with Romo, Sanchez and Luck (bummer of a name, there Andy).
I think you need to reread Acts. Paul, Barnabas, and Peter were not stoned or imprisoned because they kept their faith under a bushel basket. Neither did Jesus.
If most americans really understand what vile, foul, disgusting, bizarre acts homosexuals do behind closed doors...they would be sick and horrified. ...
But all they see are the T.V. sitcom homos that are harmless funloving regular guys...who happen to love someone of the same sex...

Indeed. What they did NO do was go in the square and yell “I AM SAVED AND YOU ARE NOT! SUCKERS!”
Tebow was and is about Tebow. Jesus is a convenient promotional tool.
The Jets always seemed like they were afraid Tebow might succeed, so they left him on the bench and let Sanchez lose. It never made much sense to me. Sure, Tebow is not a good QB by NFL standards, but he seemed to find ways to win at Denver - bet the Jets would have done better had he played more. The media and the league wanted him to fail, they were afraid he wouldn’t - apparently that is more important to the Jets than actually winning football games. Meanwhile, a fringe NBA player claims to be queer, thereby making it impossible not to employ him somewhere, and the media is orgasming in delight. Satan is getting bolder and bolder, and his belly flop into the lake of fire is getting ever nearer.
I had a kid working for me who was an undrafted free agent and was on NFL rosters for a couple years. He claimed there was a huge bias in favor of the players who were drafted by the team. Management never wanted to admit their drafting wasn't the best. Even if it meant not putting the best players on the field. This kid was no dummy, and got a mechanical engineering degree from a Big Ten school while a 3 yr starter in football, I gave his opinion a lot of credibility.
Well, the NFL certainly hated Kurt Warner and Reggie White.
/sarcasm off
Heard a ‘story’ the other day (Chris Plante) that Collins wore #98 in ‘honor’ and remembrance of a WY character named Mathew Shepherd, who was ‘staked’ out on fence and beaten to death in 1998.
Although it is/was highly regarded as a ‘feather in the cap of the ‘homo’ community (a cause celebre) the facts came out that he was actually a robbery target who happened to ‘go for the pole, rather than the hole (Female)’ but it was more better for the cause to throw in the ‘homo’ angle.
