The NFL commissioners were not so understanding of Tim Tebow. WHY does someone of darker skin pigment get away with his idiosyncraciies, and the other is hung and driven away.

My theory (not too “tinfoiley” :-) )?
Almost every NFL stadium is largely funded by taxpayer dollars. The NFL is the largest spectator sport in the USA and lures the most eyeballs to their TV game show each week. Liberals knew that the NFL would be a huge platform to spew their nonsense so they didn’t mind blowing millions, make that billions of taxpayer dollars on the stadiums. Knowing what liberals are like, I can’t see them handing that money over to build that crap (and it is “crap” ... they do NOTHING for a region) w/o some kind of kickbacks from the league. If they want the other peoples money that liberals “control” for a new stadium, they had better spew the company line. That’s why Tebow gets maligned and turning your back on the United States is heralded!
Liberals constantly whine about tax money going to big business ... however, you *rarely* see them bitch about stadiums (some will, but they’re more the “true believer” kind of liberal vs. the programmed masses they control). Take a closer look at the various agendas the NFL has pushed over the past 15 years ... they all fall in line with liberalism.
Don’t be surprised if you start seeing liberal garbage being spewed from MLB, NBA, and the NHL next as many of their playgrounds are funded by taxpayer money ... quite frankly, I think a lot of these stadium deals need to be investigated ... taxpayers get NOTHING back from these “deals” ... if you take a closer look at how Bob Nutting runs the Pittsburgh Pirates (as an example), you’ll see he’s simply using the team to fund his other business interests on the back of the baseball team. Is it really the responsibility of taxpayers to fund that kind of nonsense?
Because islam is all they will tolerate. Christians are persona non grata to the left. Thus Tim Tebow had to be demonized, and CRAPPER PRAISED.
