I’m not a big football fan, but I lived in Gainesville and therefore I at least know who Tebow is! I have vaguely followed his progress, and he seems to be doing well, so the thing that mystifies me is how much people in Colorado hate him. I know somebody who lives in Denver and evidently they all want him gone.
I would assume this is because of his religious positions. Denver is an extremely leftist, secularized city. It’s bizarre that your sort of typical sports guys would even get into this though.
“...how much people in Colorado hate him. I know somebody who lives in Denver and evidently they all want him gone”
Huh? Don’t believe everything you hear. Fans all over Colorado had a blast watching Tebow play last season. All you need to do is go to a sportsbar and see the fans. Just stop listening to the media and the tiny number of loudmouth, leftist, haters that pretend to be football fans.
I graduated from University of Florida and now live near Denver. Tebow had a huge following and some vocal haters. Denver is an urban, left wing island with it’s evil twin city Boulder. The rest of Colorado is conservative and mostly anti-communist!!!!
Bingo! Professional sports is a more about ego, immorality, thuggery, and assorted sins than about character and winning. Elway just couldn’t stand the way Tebow won. The Knicks just couldn’t stand letting a character-laden player like lin continue to win. Now they have Carmello running the team (and the coach fired!) and losing. It is so refreshing to have these Christians marginalized and get back to the debauchery that professional sports has become!
Clearly, your friend needs to get out more...
Tebow returned passion to Bronco's football last season - and excited the entire state...
More phone calls to radio stations today on the way home about those upset about this than those in favor...and that was on the Bronco's "official" radio station.
Count me in the
not happy column...
I live in Denver and your impression is wrong. Tebow has a large and passionate fan base here. As a bronco fan since the days of Floyd Little I can tell you I now have a new favorite team....the one that ends up with Tebow. I hope The Broncos go 0-16 this year and Tebow takes his new team to the super bowl. It will be richly deserved on both sides
The only one here who really hates Tebow is Elway. I guess the fact that being around Tebow daily reminding him what a miserable moral failure he is got to Elway
