This NFL football season has had its share of stories thus far whether it be the Packers quest for perfection, Ndomakung Suh pounding dudes lettuce off the turf or stomping arms or driving his rig into a tree, but with out a doubt the hot stove topic has and will continue to be Tim Tebow.
I cannot recall a bigger fuss being made of a player who was doomed to fail by the so called "experts" at the 4letter network in the Connecticut woods, as soon as he was drafted. Never has a player polarized a league for being nothing but a winner and good guy, but also been the target of many attacks for wearing his religion on his sleeve.
But why? He isn't doing anything different by getting down on a knee and giving thanks to his God after he leads a team to win or a loss for that matter. Why is this such a big deal? Have we come to a time in our history where being Christian is something to hate in our football players and the thought of him expressing that has angered so many. Can you imagine the uprising that would occur if a Muslim player decided to pull out a prayer rug an give his thanks, then the media turned their disgust on him? Something like that could cause another war with those irrational religious zealots, but since he is white and Christian its ok to hate.
If you aren't a fan of his game then hate on him for that but don't hate the guy for doing things right and having so much faith in his beliefs that he feels compelled give his gratitude after a battle on the field.
