In reply to the discussion: How about that Tim Tebow? [View all]Zax2me
(2,515 posts)In fact, he states this is NOT what he does.
So where does this perception of him come from?
Mostly people who are either ignorant of the Christian religion or religion in general.
Others just say it to stir things up purposefully.
Tebow is full aware that there are other Christians on the other team.
He repeatedly has stated he prays for his best performance and all players to be well in health.
He never asked Jeeeeesus to force a kicker on opposing team to miss a FG for him.
Now, this FACT is going to slap down many of his detractors and most of their talking points.
It doesn't change the fact that he still struggles with most of the things a QB needs to do to win games, however.
But he does inspire his teammates to play better. Through watch what I do, not what I say.
And what he does is work out hard, pray hard, play hard. Until the last second ticks off the clock.
This inspires his teammates.
For some reason, the pray hard part really ticks some people off.
