And you could take Michael Sam or Bruce Jenner, who were a story for about 2 months, and raise you a Tim Tebow. They wouldn't shut up him for 3 years. Non stop coverage about a QB who can't accurately throw a football. They had entire SportsCenters focused on the guy. And when he finally ran out of chances, they hired him as an analyst.
Sorry, that just drives me nuts, but both political parties do it. It's like complaining about Joe Buck. Somebody does something that might appeal to the other side and people go nuts over it. When in reality they're just chasing ratings. Because they do know left wingers will love a story about Michael Sam, and the right wingers will love non-stop Tebow coverage. You don't notice it because you're so brainwashed by one side of the aisle you don't see anything else.

The fans drove the Tebow coverage. Period. End of story. The MEDIA drove the Sam story. Big difference. Huge difference. Say what you want about Tebow, he's a polarizing character, but ESPN covered him because they knew people followed Tebow and whatever he was doing in the NFL.
