I’m a Pats fan, and I wish he could have made the team. They gave him a fair shot, but he really isn’t suitable for a non-option, mostly dropback offense. Too bad.
Progressive Liberal Democrats have a problem with God; they booed Him at their last convention.
anti-Christian religious bigots must attack him, it’s ingrained in their ideology ... which, of course, includes all progressives
progressives are big govt people. in their view, govt is the supreme authority... which is why they’re in line with communists, marxists, socialists, and fascists.
if you’re attacking someone due to their beliefs, you might as well start attacking people due to their skin color.
then again, the left in America is bigoted in many ways, including race
Liberals hate.
It’s the one thing in their life. They are like muslims.
It seems odd, because speaking as an atheist, the man's faith is utterly irrelevant to me. I don't follow sports, so the only reason I even recognize Tebow is that I live in the Denver area, and it was virtually impossible to avoid seeing stories about him in the local media. My reaction to him (other than, largely, indifference) is to wish the man the best.
The only reason to wish otherwise (as far as I can tell) is that many are, at their core, antitheists rather than atheists.
2. Everyone who thinks Tebow isn't capable of playing quarterback at the NFL level is a God-hating atheist.

The real truth is that there are not that many Tebow haters out there any more. Most people simply don’t care either way. You can troll the comments section of every website and find outrageous statements about Tebow, but it doesn’t represent a trend or consensus of any kind, IMHO.
Should read "most all...."
Seems like I've heard that one before.......
Most “bashers” aren’t bashers, they’re pointing out his clear and obvious flaws as a QB. meanwhile the crowd that is addicted to being persecuted insists it’s all because he’s Christian while studiously ignoring all the other Christians succeeding just fine in the sport.
Everybody who thinks Tebow, who is frankly a terrible QB, has been ill treated needs to climb off their personal cross. Sometimes a cigar really is just a cigar, and sometimes a bad QB getting cut from teams is just a bad QB getting cut.
I love Tebow. He has all the qualities and intangables that you want on your team, except for one. He is not NFL QB material. He was a great college QB, but he is a very bad NFL QB. The kid is a winner and can help any team he ends up on, just not at the QB position. If Tebow wants to play in the NFL he is going to have to change position. I think he would be a very good TE, maybe a RB. But his days of playing QB are pretty much over. I hope he gets picked up by someone, and I hope he is open to changing position. The NFL needs more quality guys like him.
My understanding, and it could be wrong, is that Tebow has some eccentricities as a quarterback that are proving a great hindrance to his progress as a pro.
Nevertheless the anti-Tebow-mania has nothing to do with football. And, without having read this whole article, I don’t think it has much to do with religion, or even abortion.
I think it has everything to do with the institutional Left, of which a great part is the MSM, mobilizing to immediately and permanently destroy any conservative who comes in to public view and who may have even a modicum of charisma or popular appeal.

What I find amazing is Tebow’s outward expressions of Christian faith not only bother libs, but it deeply offends them, as do all other things that stand for goodness and decency. When Tebow went to NY, Christian values. And when he stood strong against temptation and evil, the leftists became enraged all the more. They are truly reprehensible creatures.

Tebow really bothered the left. It was fun to see.
But they really got excited over the ‘gay NFL player.’
Because they hate the idea of God and love anything that contradicts the nature that we have in us, given by God.
I read TT’s book, he’s a fine young man.
To me the premise that there is some NFL/liberal conspiracy to keep him from playing is way off base.
And it may well be that God’s plan for him may be coaching or ministry.
I don’t follow professional football and so will assume that Tim Tebow simply didn’t deliver on what the NFL teams that hired him thought was his potential. So be it. However, the fact that the left has been very, very hostile to Tebow due to his daring to be open and public about his Christian faith is undeniable. I agree that had Tebow been a great quarterback for any of the NFL teams he was a part of, the hostility would have waned somewhat, if not totally disappeared. Tebow’s Christianity was certainly a problem for many that follow the NFL, be it professional writers or internet haters posting scathing insults to Tebow behind the anonymity of the internet.
