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.

There seems little doubt that the thrust of the article is correct. I've read the occasional Tebow thread at Democratic Underground, and most of the posters there utterly despise the man. It's obvious that the only reason they do so is because he's open about his faith.

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.

1. Everyone who disagrees with Obama is really a racist.

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.

"(Many Tebow-bashers really have a problem with God)"

Should read "most all...."

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.

*Corrected version....

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

In the real world, Tebow is a great person but a horrible NFL quarterback. He just can't play the position at this level. Him and millions of others. I wish it was different. Even in the bluest of blue state areas, NYC, most, hoped he would lead the Jets onto victory, but he was not good enough. Very few nutters hated him because of his beliefs. Probably the most beloved athlete in New York, the great Mariano, is not shy about is Christian beliefs. Andy Petite for that matter. The difference is that those two won championship, while Tebow struggled to complete a pass.

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.

God bless Tim Tebow. I hope the Lord continues to use him in a way that brings glory to God and that Tim never gives up. He is strong role model when kids NEED that so much. I think God has a very bright future for him.
