Chiefs Now Terrell Suggs taking shots at Tebow and God - Page 9

scho63 · 01-03-2012, 04:32 PM

I want to preface this by saying that I'm not religious at all even though I was raised Catholic. Haven't seen the inside of a church in many years and don't follow or practice religion. Actually somewhat turned off by it but that's a story for another day.

The thing that is really disturbing to me is why is everyone jumping all over God and Tim Tebow? He isn't the first athlete to invoke or thank God, many players do. He doesn't carry a bible into the huddle or try to convert anyone. He just has a strong belief in his faith just like many other Buddhists, Muslims, Jews, Protestants, Baptists, and Hindu worshipping people yet every week someone who has no relation to the game or the Bronco's comes out with what I believe to be anti-Christian or anti-religion views.

How would he be treated if he was a Muslim or Jewish? I don't think the media or other people would say jack squat. I don't like the double standard...

Yeah, he sucks as a QB but let's use that to judge his performance, not his religion.

Am I wrong or is the bashing of Tebow for his religious views justified or fair?

I thought his name was Tim. What's with the "John" stuff?

Look at me. Look at how much I care!

The whole religion thing in football has become a joke. Tebow's minister after one of the broncos wins... declared that it's clear God is working through Tebow on the football field. Horse shit...I always laugh at kicker who points to the sky when he makes a good kick...but never points to the sky on a crappy kick. So much suffering in the world that is not addressed...but God is helping Tebow win a football game?...give me a friggen break.

Actually, I've seen Colquitt do just this!

I think he's silently cursing god.

Yeah you're right. Muslims have it made in America.

Tebow's not a bad guy. Just a bad NFL QB.

actually Dustin Farr Colquitt does after every kick. At least I've never noticed him not pointing. BTW how great is his middle name for a punter?

Christopher Hitchens is rolling in his grave laughing right now... all religion = cult

**MahiMike** · 01-03-2012, 09:50 PM

It's definitely because of his faith that he's getting picked on. If you don't believe that, you're naive.

Nope. You overgeneralized.

Tebow SNL Skit.

Tebow the human is a fantastic person and role model... I hope my son turns out like him.

Tebow as a football player is a great competitor and has the drive and will that is second to none.

Tebow as the media infatuation is sickening... Respect everything Tebow is about and does. Just sick of the media...

He may have heart... But he has no game... When I say no game... I mean he shouldn't even touch the ball.
