Tim Tebow needs to learn how to be a QB in the NFL or despite being a outstanding Christian and guy he will be CUT and will be history.
“I seriously doubt such a proclamation would pass Congress today.”
Spirited: There are a few good men left in Congress. With the few would Reagan’s proclamation pass muster. However, the majority doubtless side with the ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State who claim that the mere mention of Jesus Christ causes untold suffering for today’s “inclusive pluralists.”
In other words, the mention of the transcendent incarnate God, Jesus Christ, causes today’s polytheists and distant, unknowable God worshippers (ie., contemporary Pharisees (ACLU), Mullahs, and Unitarians) to sweat bullets.
I hate to say this but... Tebow = the Obama of the NFL.
Only problem is Tebow had an outstanding front line in college, in the NFL all things are equal, he is too slow and signals what he is going to do. He is a good man, but I did not think anyone would draft him. He would make a good coach.
i wish he could score more than one touchdown a game.
Was this written last year? Tebow is not a rookie.
Is there any way to prove your allegation, Lloyd, that "some {media} desire to see Tebow fail because he is so outspoken regarding his christian faith." or is this supposition on your part?
Are you happy that Mr. Tebow expressed his opinion on his religion and gave his god credit for his performance and the victory....or is it that you are happy because his thanks went to the christian god?
Would you be as happy, Lloyd, if a quarterback gave thanks to his god (Allah, Buddah, Jehova, whoever) who just happens to be not your god, as is their right to do here in America?
And isn't it strange that the same god to whom Tebow gave credit for his performance and victory, is exactly the same god the opposing team prayed to for victory...but came away disappointed?
Religion sure is a strange thing, ain't it?
Looks like Tebow got fed to the Lions yesterday.
I’m reminded of the story about Pat Kelly when he was a member of the Baltimore Orioles being managed by Earl Weaver, late 70s or early 80’s IIRC.
Pat was a very religious guy, and Earl was (is) not.
Pat: But Earl, don’t you want me to walk with the Lord?
Earl: I’d rather you walk with the bases loaded.
My point?
Sports fans don’t give a flying hoot about a player’s religious beliefs. They’re meaningless between the lines.
Tebow took what he may not have recognized as a political stance, and like others taking a political stance, got beaten up for it. He seems to have weathered it no problem. It’s the commentators who can’t get over it. JMO.
