Twitter erupted Monday with accusations of white privilege and racism as leftists went on the attack after Tim Tebow was reportedly set for another shot at playing in the NFL even as national anthem protester Colin Kaepernick still sits on the sidelines.
News broke on Monday that the Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to sign former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL and MBA layer Tim Tebow to a one-year contract:
The #Jaguars are planning to sign QB-turned-TE Tim Tebow to a 1-year deal, per me and @TomPelissero, a deal that could be official in the next week or so. Nothing done yet. But he’ll have a chance to make the team to reunite with his mentor and college head coach Urban Meyer.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) May 10, 2021
But with news of the Jags deal, leftists unloaded on Twitter:

I think he brings a couple of interesting possibilities. In his day, he was a pretty heavy-duty runner. H-back or slot receiver and hand him the ball occasionally. Reverse pass with him throwing the ball. Blocker in punt formation, he is a fake punt, run-pass option. Essentially, he can be used to keep the defense hones in the right situations. I don’t think Kaepernick brings those options to the table.
Because Kap is divisive in the club house and a lousy player too.
Everyone needs to stop pretending that those scumbags have a point to make. Tebow isn’t trying out for a QB spot, so there is no comparison with that nasty, America-hating lump of dog crap.
They deserve no answer other than FUSU. Whatever idiotic drivel comes out of their festering gobs, just FUSU.
A couple of other things, Tebow will bring a team first attitude unlike Kaepernick who would be a cancer on the team...
Tebow will be cheap, he will only make the veteran minimum if the makes the team...Kaepernick would only sign as a QB with a chance to be the starter which he will make a lot more than Tebow will make if he makes the team...
These ‘critics’. They have freedom to speak. That doesn’t mean we have to listen. Out of sight out of mind.
I am so sick of that term ... “white privilege”. It’s factually incorrect. We don’t get privileged treatment. Minorities get crap treatment ... or at least used to. It’s more of a “minority disadvantage” than it is “white privilege”. I will not be pressured to feel guilty for the color of my skin.
Tebow at least listened to instructions. Is better at QB than Colin will ever be
The genocidal narrative with Commies is that if you are White, you have ‘privilege’.
This type of talk is not only racist, but it’s literally programming idiots to start targeting an entire race for destruction/elimination.
This would be funny if not so sad. Talent has nothing to do with the "new" culture. These columnists need to bang their heads against a wall..
He was born in Philippines where his parents were missionaries. He doesn’t have Filipino ancestry.
Kaepernick displeases the paying customers.
Looks like a business decision to me.
Gee. Who’da thunk it?
This
They're suppose to 'git' the White guy.
Absolutely they have the freedom to speak. One of the great things about FR is that we stay practiced at thinking for ourselves and can recognize when the press is getting ridiculous. Unfortunately, that seems to be most of the time now. I’m just trying to add a little reason into the discussion.
Colin Kaepernick is still an American, God-gating TURD BOY. ‘Nuff said.
NFL team doing whatever it can to put (white) fans in the stands and in front of their TV after Kaepernick drove them away.
The only person responsible for Kaepernick not playing is Kaepernick.
“‘White Privilege’: Libs Erupt as Tebow Gets Second NFL Chance While Kaepernick Remains Sidelined”
Like high schools now shouldn’t place students in advanced classes because of ability or should eliminate advanced classes altogeter in the name of equity, the NFL shouldn’t pick players because of talent.
