They don’t, the article points out that the money did not come from their general fund, but from a handful of “very generous and committed friends”. That said, who cares? He is anti-abortion, I’m not, but I also don’t really care. He is going to be in a 30 second commercial during the Super Bowl, don’t watch it. I don’t comprehend the outrage over someone else expressing their opinion. Possibly you could elaborate a bit more on why Tim Tebow should be fucked.
I do suppose that is what the Pit is for, though, so who am I to demand satisfaction?
“Focus on the Family” is not just an anti-abortion organization; it’s a ferociously gay-hating organization that pours money and resources into supporting legal and social oppression of gays.
Tebow’s ad might not make mention of that part of FOTF’s platform but if he’s supporting FOTF, he’s supporting a viciously anti-civil rights organization all the same.
Hurting human beings is worse than hurting dogs, IMHO.
You know, for better or for worse, there’s a pretty big strain of Evangelical Christianity in pro sports, especially pro football. I think if you let the beliefs of the players bother you too much, it’ll just interfere with your enjoyment of the game.
It would be delicious irony indeed if he somehow slipped all the way back to the late 1st round and the Cardinals drafted him. I’d love to see you eat your words.
A stance against legal abortion is defensible, since one can make a coherent argument that there is a “victim” that deserves protection. I struggle with it myself, though I am pro-choice.
A stance against homosexual marriage just makes one an asshole.
If one were to pit all the NFL players who try to hijack games for religious promotion there wouldn’t be space for pitting anything else.
Relax and treasure every sack of Tebow by some monster linebacker wearing the message “I CRUSH QBs” in his eyeblack.*
*I enjoyed watching highlights of the college bowl game where Jesus caused one of his QB minions to throw five interceptions in a losing effort. I guess it was the secondary’s turn for glory that day.
I thought the general consensus was that he probably wasn’t going to go in the first round at all. And even then, they talk about him having to change positions. No one seems to give him much credence as an NFL quarterback.
