EVERYONE was not giving him grief.  Tebow had way more supporters than detractors.  He just wasn't a good NFL QB and got way more press than he should have.  I blame ESPN.  I also blame ESPN for SEC bias, high ticket prices, the absence of the mid-range jump shot and global warming.

And if you're going to pretend nobody hated him because he was christian, I guess it makes sense that you'll pretend he wasn't any good.

If Tebow was black nobody would have given a eff about his religion.

Nobody gave a eff as it was.  He made it the defining story of him.

If Tebow was good, nobody would give a crap. He was in college and they built statues for him

I'm pretty sure if you asked Tim, he'd say religion is what defines him.

And if you're going to pretend nobody hated him because he was christian, I guess it makes sense that you'll pretend he wasn't any good.

As if it mattered whether or not he even played football, hating someone because they're christian is just as stupid as hating someone because they are gay.  Yet, here we are at goE surrounded by a bunch of ignorant rough ridin' bigots.
As stated 10 times previously, no one here and very few people elsewhere actually hated him for his religious beliefs.  He was a great college QB, not a good NFL one, like Collin Klein, Vince Young, Eric Crouch, etc.

Exactly.  Ck was awesome, and very religious.  No one hates Tebow.

Some do.

a facebook page with less than 400 likes and a random website that hasn't been updated or commented on for nearly 3 years that FSD pulled out of his ass is now proof that "millions of people" hate him solely due to religion.  Neither the website or FB page said anything about his religion btw.  Most of it actually seemed to be because of his sub par QB play.

This.

LHC Bill Snyder had NO issue throwing Ell under the bus and going back on his word to Marcus Raines because of letter writing rubes. LHC Bill Snyder cares a lot about what people think about his decisions.

"As stated on here" should be your first clue that's complete bullshit.  Your next clue should be the millions of people who hate him because he's Christian.

I couldn't stand him because he wouldn't shut up about being a Christian, so everyone else wouldn't shut up about him being a Christian, and it took away from the fact that he was a mediocre quarterback who was using his faith to build his brand.

Klein was Christian as crap, but no one brought it up because he didn't wear it on his sleeve.  They're like the exact same guy, but Klein went about it the right way.  People tried to get him to go on about it, but he generally shut it down and just let his actions do the talking.

Back on topic, good for Sam.

There are much fewer people that hate Tebow because he's Christian(and they exist) than there are that hate Sam because he's gay.  It's a non-issue that you are making into an issue, people hating Tebow because he's Christian isn't affecting him nearly as much people hating Sam because he's gay(restriction of rights, many more bigots, etc.)

Why do people today feel obligated to make announcements about private matters? If he can play the game on the field, then great. That's enough. Anything else is beside the point. In any event, he doesn't owe an explanation to anyone about anything else and shouldn't feel compelled to issue one, unless he simply wants the attention for some concocted, politically-correct, heroic purpose. Nor should anyone feel they're owed one, save on the basis of some concocted, politically-correct, but actually prurient purpose.

Gay people need heros.  Just like misogynists needed bill clinton, pedophiles needed Roman Polanski, nymphos needed tiger woods, wankers needed peewee herman, and androginytes needed marilyn manson.

If he falls, and sadly he probably will I hope he goes all Tom Brady in the NFL and just mushes the crap out people and becomes an All-Pro.  I'd love to hear what the scouts say then.  "Oh man, he's pretty good but at least we preserved the sanctity of the locker room because really guys the NFL isn't ready."

Cowboys fan here, and I hope they draft him too. I know scouts pay a lot of attention to the measurables (ht, wt, 40, etc) but how does a consensus 1st team AA and SEC Def PoY project as a mid round pick? Makes zero sense to me.

Not sure if serious...

Which part? Because I was serious about everything.

The part about why you don't know why he isn't being projected higher and thinking because you are an AA and a conference player of the year should automatically make you a first or second round guy.

How many BCS DPoY and consensus AA can you think of that haven't been drafted in the first 3 rounds? This probably belongs in a different thread, but NFL scouts are morons for thinking guys like Sam can't play just because he's an inch short or 10 lbs light.
When did Geno Torreta (sp?) get drafted? Wasn't he a Heisman winner?

Very few things piss me off more in the world than people like FSD trying to play the victim when people feel comfortable enough in their own skin to be proudly different from the "Christian Nation accepted definition of normal"

And, along w/ everyone else w/ a rational brain, I do not know anybody that hates Tebow. I am a shining example of someone that SHOULD hate Tebow, being a Liberal Athiest, and I think Tebow was just fine, I also think he was a fairly awful NFL football player that was given more chances than others of similar skillset have gotten. Did Tebow get fun poked at him? Absolutely, but to equate those jabs with hate is pathetically weak.


Gay people need heros.  Just like misogynists needed bill clinton, pedophiles needed Roman Polanski, nymphos needed tiger woods, wankers needed peewee herman, and androginytes needed marilyn manson.

That was my first thought. Jackie Robinson didn't have the opportunity to choose when the time was right to confront racism. There's no hiding it.

Whitlock was widely disliked and is still a controversial figure in Kansas City even though he was an above average (frequently impactful) sports journalist. Whereas Posnanski was  overwhelmingly well-liked while simultaneously being a pretty bad writer.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/02/11/aclu-lawsuit-missouri-gay-marriage-ban/5390891/ (http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/02/11/aclu-lawsuit-missouri-gay-marriage-ban/5390891/)

they are embracing him because they can't do the opposite.  there are plenty of missouri red necks who are secretly pissed off about the attention mu is getting on the issue

Quote
Last Tuesday, Michael Sam Sr. was at a Denny's near his home outside Dallas to celebrate his birthday when his son sent him a text message.

Dad, I'm gay, he wrote.

The party stopped cold. "I couldn't eat no more, so I went to Applebee's to have drinks," Sam Sr. said. "I don't want my grandkids raised in that kind of environment.

"I'm old-school," he added. "I'm a man and a woman type of guy." As evidence, he pointed out that he had taken an older son to Mexico to lose his virginity.

On Sunday night, just after Michael Sam announced his intention to make sports history, his father was still struggling with the news.

Sam Sr. loves his son, and he said he hoped his son made it to the N.F.L. "As a black man, we have so many hurdles to cross," he said. "This is just one he has to cross."

But he expressed discomfort at the very idea of a gay N.F.L. player, even if the player was his son. He grumbled that Deacon Jones, the Hall of Fame defensive end renowned for his toughness, "is turning over in his grave."

Why, on this board, are gays protected.   :dunno:  I mean you make fun of a guy dying in plane crash, etc.   The irreverence is what makes the board interesting.

But the hyper sensitivity to protecting gays, a group that is such a small percentage of the world, is weird.

I think the guy is an average NFL prospect who is suddenly on the cover of SI.  He is working the american public and trying to work some NFL owner into drafting him.

Keep in mind this was 2003. This was a mere five years after two men had kidnapped a 21-year-old college student named Matthew Shepard in nearby Wyoming, tied him to a fence post and bludgeoned him with such violence that the passing bicyclist who found the fatally beaten young gay man there at first mistook him for a scarecrow.

And this was the locker room, of all places. Where we wash off the blood and sweat after we crush Kansas State and Texas Tech, and where we talk about girls, and where we call a gay man what he really is. Right?

I think he knew, deep down, that he had a real shot of not getting drafted.  But I think it's a good first step for the sport that he was, regardless of round.

Hopefully, he makes a roster.  I'll be rooting for him.

I've always wondered if the profit from jersey sales of one player is enough to make a difference to pro team.

I read somewhere that he was #2 to manziel of all rookies as of last night. That could be wrong though.

I'm a nominal Cowboys fan myself, but I don't really follow them much anymore. The Cowboys were the first sports team that I followed (my older brother was a fan) as a kid in the 80s and I enjoyed them through the glory years in the 90s, but as Jones has continued to prove himself to be way too involved with the football operations my interested waned. To be fair, my interest in the NFL has fallen in general for the last decade.  It looks like they'll be pretty terrible this year though, especially on defense.

Jerry Jones is a clown. Hopefully this is the year they finally bottom out instead of going 8-8 and missing the playoffs with a Week 17 loss. Those have been pretty brutal the last three years...
