Sigh... Tebow helps set up hospital...

Few people have the nads to publically insult Islam, for many reasons.

And why exactly should Islam be insulted??

Once you've answered that one, tell me which Tebow detractors are insulting Christianity by criticizing him... you seem to think that pointing out that he's not really a good quarterback is some kind of attack on Christianity, and of course that's ludicrous...

You seem to have an agenda here, perhaps this thread should be closed before it goes where it seems to be headed... personally, my problem with Tebow isn't with Tebow at all, it's with the over the top hype the media is giving him... I had the same problem with Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods (even before his sexual proclivities became public knowledge)...

If I ever met Tim, I'd tell him I admire him for the good he's doing, and leave it at that...

Well, I admire him for the things he does, but I do have a problem with the Tebow hype, which is almost entirely because he IS religious...

But my take is that he's not responsible for others hyping him for their own agendas... my other take is that he's really not a very good quarterback... sorry, but his play this year wasn't all that, he rode a stout defense and a fairly soft schedule into a winning record..

the way the media disrepects their fg kicker and defense and praises his sorry *** is hilarious.

the media feasts on this **** though....to see how many people will get pissed off.

same with mike vick...had the eagles made the playoffs ...katy bar the door.

The reason Tebow gets so much hype is because if u look at 4-5 of his wins he had no business winning those games. For whatever reason tho they would come away with a win. Some people like to root for the underdog while others can't stand it. I'm not religious but I have no problem with what he does. The world is a pretty ****ty place and if he wants to do good why should I complain. Also, I think the media is more responsible for pushing the religion then he is. Other then thanking god he isn't the one to bring up the topic.

Again, I believe many of those wins should be given to the defense for keeping them in the game. I do agree with many posters on here that he is a good person, that's fine. I hate Tebow simply because of the hype. You rarely hear others who also do many many great things for their community. Pat Tillman for example gave his LIFE to his country and you don't hear about that. He turned down MILLIONS of dollars to enlist and serve after 9/11, and died in Afghanistan. Sorry, but when players like this, who is an atheist by the way, gets ignored and somewhat villified for his views.

All the wins are team wins. The defense played a huge part but Tebow stepped up when he had to.

Why is any religion inherently worthy of insult?

The point is that people who hate religion in the western world typically focus only on christianity.

Tebow is both hyped and hated because he is a very atypical player and person. He is hated BECAUSE of the hype stemming from both his play and his faith, and his average play would not be so hyped if not for his faith. The two are forever linked in the minds of people, whether it be concious or not.
