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.
So hence he is a polarizing figure.
exercise: Imagine an Atheist quarterback with Tebow's record.
