Dinner Doodle: Why is Tim Tebow Hated?

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

well, that's not exactly the title, but it does reference Tim Tebow:

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

It oversimplifies things considerably to suggest that people dislike Tebow solely because of his beliefs.  Not that there aren't some idiots who do, but there are plenty of good reasons to think that based solely upon his on-the-field accomplishments, his ability as a football player has been severely overhyped.

there have been many overhyped athletes, but very few have been given the attention of Tim Tebow.

I honestly didn't know Tebow was some super-Christian until jmf started making these threads about him. I am angry atheist who hates Tebow because he a Christian!111

dude, you're not even a football fan

Philip Rivers and Peyton Manning and Josh Hamilton and Jeremy Lin are all outspoken Christians, yet nobody hates them because they're actually good at what they do.

yo, you're pulling my leg....Tebow is much more outspoken about his Christianity.  googling "Tim Tebow christian" gets 5.9 million links, while"Peyton Manning christian" returns 2.5m links, even though Peyton is a future first-ballot hall of famer and Tebow is just beginning his career.

Tim Tebow is extremely popular.  Far more popular than his NFL prowess warrants, and it's because of his faith.

No need for the absurd persecution complex.

and on the flipside - Tim Tebow is extremely hated.  Far more hated than his NFL record warrants (although he is only a 2nd year QB, he does have a  8-5 overall record as a starter, included five second-half comebacks and a playoff victory), and it's because of his testimony of his faith.

No need for the absurd denial of the obvious.

Just wait until the Jets play the Cowboys and for whatever reason Sanchez doesn't play.

Jerry Jones calls immigration and has Sanchez deported just prior to kick-off?

Tebow goes 5/15 with for something like 80 yards through the first 58 minutes, then goes 3/3 with 90 yards in the final 2 minutes for a 14-10 victory. Then jmfcst will understand that the bible has nothing to do with this.

 

And I'm sure Romo will go 24/28 for 358 yards through the first 58 minutes, then 0/2 with 2 ints in the final 2 minutes to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory for a 10-14 loss.

So, Cowboy fans will be hating Romo more.

well, that's not exactly the title, but it does reference Tim Tebow:

In an extremely awkward way.  Not even some type of transition?  It seems forced.

right hand column:  "Do you know who Tim Tebow is?"

or, are you saying you saw the reference and thought it was forced?

Do you eat off of these?

no, we print six copies, take turns reading and discussing portions of it while we eat, then discard them after the meal.  Our 7 yr old loves to show off her good reading talents and she comes up with some really interesting comments.
