Seems like people that hate religion also hate Tim Tebow. Tim is just a man.

[brahmabull117]

I'm an atheist but I never had a problem with him


he's a genuinely great guy and has NEVER tried to shove his religion down anybody's throat

[Landscaper]

No problem with the guy

[SportsMushroom]

atheists dont hate god, they just dont believe he exists


they think tebow is some form of propaganda from the vatican

[DrStale]

I want him to fail so the media stops sucking him off 24/7, not because of his religion.

Sharp Post.

[Landscaper]

I think Tebow is god

[jgray]

I want him to fail so the media stops sucking him off 24/7, not because of his religion.

That about sums it up...

I agree with Brahma on this.

I still can't figure out how he doesn't have sex. How does a young guy like that turn that part of his brain off? Especially when it's being thrown at you constantly. It's hard for me to fathom.

so the part of the media that praises him bothers you


but the part of the media that keeps putting him down does not bother you at all?



personally all I see is the media either mocking tebows abilities, questioning his abilities, or trying to reserve judgement


the media excuse is just that, an excuse, you just dont like him

if anything, what should piss you off is the total luck of professionalism and tact by the media when reporting on tebow and clearly demonstrating their negative feelings towards him instead of trying to remain impartial

[DwightShrute]

Agnostics aren't sure as long as he covers the spread

No.

I just want to watch an NFL pregame or Sportscenter without 80% of it being about Tebow, whether it be negative, positive or neutral.

[SportsMushroom]

then why do you want him to fail?

[DrStale]

then why do you want him to fail?

Because when he comes back to earth then he will no longer take up 80% of all sports programming...

[convick]

He's never had sex.... with a woman! So, yea, he's a virgin!

[SportsMushroom]

Because when he comes back to earth then he will no longer take up 80% of all sports programming...

or you could wish that he becomes a respected nfl quarterback


then he will get no more attention than any other quarterback in the league


wishing for someone to fail so you dont have to hear their name is

[TodayIsForgotten]

Because when he comes back to earth then he will no longer take up 80% of all sports programming...

Its a news story. Its no different than anything else that "catches" people's attention. It will die down with a lose or after this season.

You hate Tebow too?

[muldoon]

As an atheist and a gambler, I've wanted him to fail 3 times in his last 7 starts.

Guys who wear lucky shirts or socks, guys who have to enter the field very last or first. Guys who have to eat a certain meal or speak to a certain family member before the game.

Tebow (to me) is just another player who uses a chosen superstition to get past the mental part of winning & losing. He just shares the superstition with millions of others, so the same folks who pray for rain and fight science, provide an instant bond and supportive audience for him.

Today I cheered against him and wanted him to fail.

Next week who knows.

[jgray]

But the eyes don't lie. The kid has had a great run over the last few weeks but his inadequacies as a QB are ignored because the lazy story is "the guy just wins."

That said, I thought he played better AS A QB today than in the past few weeks. Made some nice throws (made some bad ones too). And now that he lost, maybe we can have this discussion. It just won't be as fun as the other sensational story. It doesn't capture the imagination in the same way.

Is your husband putting you up to this?

[marcoloco]

atheists dont hate god, they just dont believe he exists


they think tebow is some form of propaganda from the vatican

because everyone knows tebow is catholic

[BigDan]

all i want is for him to get as much pub as every other mediocre qb in the league... i dont see Alex Smith being talked about and having stupid ass videos aired all over espn, even tho all he does is win..

[raydog]

pretty simple..Atheist are sick and tired of all the imaginary "god" talk that comes with tebow discussions... and until all the blown out of proportion tebow shit is dead, Atheist have to keep hearing the "god" garbage...talk about forcing religion on people through the media...its been overly disgusting and has made every single sports related tv and talk show unbrearable

[Domestic]

Atheist here, I like the guy and hope he continues to do well.

[Avenger]

I believe in God.

And I do not believe God is orchestrating Tebow's success. That's why I mock him, although I think he's a great guy.

Sharp post: I hope this doesn't all backfire and Tebow comes out of the closet, or he has 10 bastard kids, or is caught throwing games. Because, yeah... he's just a man, a really cool cat, but just a man.

And whoever is pulling the strings with this miracle sh*t, I just hope it works, for Tebow's sake. But this story has all the makings of a train wreck. Trust.

[Sdotbold]

atheists dont hate god, they just dont believe he exists

He is Protestant , not Catholic, quite a big difference.

[Big Bear]

Tebow is using his platform to try to do good and help people.

[SportsMushroom]

because everyone knows tebow is catholic

He is Protestant , not Catholic, quite a big difference.

protestant? I though he was an evangelist

anyhow, I was just trying to make a joke

obviously Im not a funny guy

[marcoloco]

lol no it was good. i liked it. im not evensure what tebow is, nor do i care. i just knew he wasnt catholic.

i personally like the guy, maybe i dont believe in everything he believes in but its nice to see a "good guy" out there instead of every other thug u see on the field. thats why i root for him. he stands up for what he believes in. tries to do good and lead by example. nothing wrong with that imo

[HoulihansTX]

I like him, I like the story, but have a strong dislike for the media exploiting the stoy to the detriment of the viewers.

[beg154860]

What the fukk is wrong with you people this is like becoming a sickness really. STOP FREAKING TALKING ABOUT THE GUY WHETHER YOU LIKE OR DISLIKE HIM. Jesus Christ it's like a freaking cult you're all fukking nuts.

[beg154860]

Why cant he just be agnostic like DR. PEPPER

[DOMINATER]

sportsmushroom sorry really very little difference between catholics and protestants , don't be a hater just trying to be helpful

[DOMINATER]

raydog ,it has to be more difficult to through life with the feelings when you die the t.v. set is turned off, your really are a much stronger guy than me. I would say god bless ,but it does not apply , i get it.
