apuszczalowski Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 He was a college superstar with a Heisman (seems to be the death sentence for college Qbs going to the NFL recently), national championships, school records and more he was drafted into the NFL where people either love the guy or despise him (I assume because people love him) he helped the Broncos turnt ehir season around and get into the playoffs where they won a game, and since then he has been tossed to the curb everywhere else. Thats why he gets articles and attention over someone like Aaron Maybin, who outside of Buffalo where they say he was drafted too early, no one gives a crap about or probably knows who he is Sure the Tebow stuff is over the top, and his fans are fanatics for him because of what he did in college, but I never understood the hatred for him. I really think the media is what fuels the hatred for him, they are the ones covering his every move, making it a edia circus around him every where he goes, and constantly promoting/pushing his religious views. I think Ray Lewis talked more religion anytime he spoke then Tebow ever did. If Tebow wants to make it in the league, maybe he should try going on a coke binge for a weekend in vegas, sexually assualt a few woman and get into a gun fight, then maybe people would start liking him more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOBILLS78 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Although he's obviously a very polarizing player, he's still one of the most popular football players in America. Your grandma might not know who EJ Manuel is, but she certainly has heard of Tebow. Enough people still click, pushing the story onward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Perhaps it is because he is an uppity holier-than-thou Christian who throws his religion in everyone's face constantly? Could that be it? Show me one time he's talked down to someone about his religion. Even once. Pro tip: You can't. Anti-Tebowers (the guys that don't like him personally, not his QB critics) come up with the narrative that he's a media whore who uses his religion to make money or something, he doesn't. He didn't get paid in college and he acted the exact same. I don't know if it's the atheist crowd that dislikes him or what. I think he's a good kid who the media harps on until everyone hates him.

When he asked the players on his college all star team to pray prior to a game, that was ridiculous. There are myriad other examples. You are correct he is polarizing, I find him insufferable and I am quite pleased tthet his legacy will be Florida Gators football and not the NFL. keep your religion to yourself. How many other players in the NFL are devout? You never hear about their religion. Only Timmy, obnoxious, Tebow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
