As all of you know I just love football. I particularly like the college game (what was Les Miles thinking last week?) but I also am way into the pro game. Overall this has been a great season with great games. It’s already playoff time with the Wild Card games finishing up last week. And the biggest story of all is Tim Tebow and I wanted to share a few Redneck thoughts about this.
First, I have not been a huge Tebow fan mostly because The Florida Gators is not my team. Same goes for the Denver Broncos. But I have always liked him and his toughness on the field and the fact he was strong on what he believed in. And if you look closer and listen with more attention you would realize that Tim has some Redneck Tendencies.
So here is what I do not get. Why does this discussion keep going on and on about Tebow’s faith. He is who he is, let it go. I mean there are facebook pages and websites created just to hate on Tebow. Really? People are spending so much energy on hating this dude who seems like a decent person and has conviction? Really? If he was a devout Muslim do you think there would be all this controversy, yes controversy over this guy?!?!?
Seriously was there any face book sites created to hate on Ben Roethlisberger when he sexually assaulted women, or when just recently that Chicago Bear’s Wide receiver was charged with drug running or when Plaxico Burress was put in jail for fighting etc??? Even the Michel Vick thing faded away relatively quickly and it only stayed a while due to the Animal Activists. And Yet people, TV talk shows, sports radio programs are a buzz talking about Tebow’s faith like it is a crime to be a believer. Are you kidding me.
I hear all the time that Tebow is a polarizing character. Can someone please tell me why? And it must be said that Tebow himself has said that God does not care about who wins football games (which is true) and yet most of Tebow’s critics assume or accuse him of this. What a joke! Redneck Hater Bill Maher said a disgusting thing about Jesus and Tebow after a Bronco’s loss on the last game of the season. It was so disgusting I will not even reference it here.
Again, why is this not considered hate speech as it would be if Tim was a Muslim or another group. In the end I can’t help but pull for this guy. He seems like a decent man, doesn’t force anything on anyone and is a great football player. I loved that he stuffed it in his critics face after beating the Pittsburgh Steelers last week. (I do not care if people criticize his throwing motion but when they piss on him because of his faith, well you know where they can go. I am telling you people, there is something going wrong in this country. Our heroes should be people like Tebow and the soldiers in the Middle East not crappy reality TV personalities. I keep telling you that our life as Rednecks is under fire!
