Re: Around the NFL week 10

I understand when people say Tebow sucks because of his performance on the field. I dont understand when people say Tebow sucks because of the type of person he is. People bitch when an athlete gets in trouble by saying stoopid shit and getting arrested, doing stupid shit, very understandable.

Why do people bitch about a guy going out saying and doing positive things? I dunno, i guess that old saying rings true, hatters gone hatte

His religious thing can be a bit much at times, but the thing I look at is he's a genuine person that really walks the walk. Also he doesn't really force his beliefs on others, rather it's more of a "this is who I am" type deal.

Either way so many athletes with his fame and notoriety could easily become arrogant and self centered but Tebow has remained humble. For that I respect him.

As a Quarterback though I think he's terrible at this point and the "winner" explanation is used way to often to justify subpar play. Granted he's only played a few games but until he learns to pass he'll be a liability to his team that will have to win in spite of his play.

Some(emphasis some) folks view being Christian as being bigoted and just an excuse to commit crimes against another person in the name of God.
Or they view being religious as a sign of backwards stupidity.

To see Tebow succeed is seeing a part of their personal ethics(or values) violated. I have seen similar reactions by some folks on hfboards on Rocco Grimaldi.

Hardcore Christians basically fall into two categories. There's the 'love thy neighbor' types and then theres the 'you're going to hell' types.
