Further down the article, it reads.
“Reports said that the students had been Tebowing all week, starting Monday. It was meant to be a joke, only paying homage to one of pro football’s newest stars.”
So these kids were NOT doing it for religious reasons.
And in fact, you could argue that they are doing it to mock Tim Tebow and mocking Tebow’s beliefs.
Akin, I suppose, to the knee-up pose sometimes struck by Morgan's Rum fans.
Agreed. That is more likely the motive, mockery rather than faith.
Yep. I'd say this is far from any kind of sudden outbreak of faith. The little darlings are cruelly mocking the expression of faith.
