I can imagine his schtick would get pretty old in the locker room, and I want no part of that. However, I have always been one of those that gets a little bent when people gang up on somebody, and that's what I feel has happened to this kid. I also know damn well that a HUGE amount of it is nothing less than religious persecution and man...I just don't like it. I'm a Christian, but I do not attend church, I do not profess any wholly alliance with any particular branch of the Christian faith, but I do celebrate Christmas because of the real reason and not because it's time for Santa.
I dunno. I know there are a lot of people that disagree with me, and frankly, I don't really watch him much, but the only thing he's done is be vocal about his faith (which many other athletes do too), and be less than good at his job. He gets more shit than a lot of guys in this league that commit crimes. People turn their heads for that as long as they play well, but not this kid. Something is wrong with this whole picture.

My critical opinion has nothing to do with his beliefs. In fact, I applaud him for being strong in the face of such negativity.
But yes, there is definitely a perverted sense of delight by a vocal minority about his athletic shortcomings. They were rooting against him because they think by some strange way, his failures validates their own hatred. I've never understood it and I know that's what you were talking about.
i dont think people are hating on him... they just dont think he is any good...
do you think its right that his followers got him the starting job in denver over both of the other QB's who reportedly were way ahead in terms of performance in practice?
im sure there are some people who dont like him for his faith, but that is a very small %
That's another genre that has health/death issues, too. And they don't have a union or figurehead to fight promoters for them. It's like, once they become broken toys, they are thrown away and are replaced by new toys. This list is unsettling. (sorry for going off-topic...Tebow rules)Quote:

Absolutely. I'd flip between the two shows. When Vince bought WCW, I knew my days as a fan were numbered.Quote:

I hate on Tebow.Quote:
