And another thing about Tim Tebow...

[ckg927]

Turns out one of the true shining beacons of Congress, Iowa Rep. Steve King, took time out from debating the issues facing our great nation to ask the question: Why won't Obama call Tim Tebow the way he called Jason Collins?

Many reasons, Mr. King. And this guy would like to explain it to you...

He makes me ashamed of Iowa

That’s what made Monday’s speech by congressional Neanderthal Representative Steve King all the more tragic for the future career prospects of Mr. Tebow. In the well of the House of Representatives, where John Quincy Adams risked arrest and assassination by inveighing against slavery, King decided to talk about his favorite subject, “the gays.” (Dan Savage doesn’t dwell on the “LGBT lifestyle” as much as Steve King.) Normally, whenever the Iowa congressman speaks, you roll your eyes, check your phone and, just in case, put the Southern Poverty Law Center on speed dial. But in this case, he invoked the name of Tim Tebow as a contrast to the athlete he sees is “undermining Western Civilization”: Jason Collins. Collins, of course, just became the first active, male, North American athlete to come out of the closet.

As King said, “We’ve got Tim Tebow who will kneel and pray to God on the football field. Meanwhile we have a professional athlete that decides he’s going to announce his sexuality and he gets a personal call from the United States to highlight the sexuality of a professional ballplayer. These are ways that the culture gets undermined, where it gets divided. The people over on this side take their followership from that kind of leadership. One notch at a time, American civilization, American culture, western civilization, western Judeo-Christiandom are eroded.”

Zirin's column sums up why I would NEVER want Tebow on the Bills. And it has ZERO to do with his religion.

Re: And another thing about Tim Tebow...

I wouldn't want him on my team because he is a horrible QB. Plain and simple reason why.

Re: And another thing about Tim Tebow...

Tebow has no love with the NFL these days. Sad but true!

Re: And another thing about Tim Tebow...

Tebow needs to get off his high horse, he is not a NFL QB and he is not a CFL QB.

unfortunately, there are a lot of places in this country where a majority share these ignorant views.

Re: And another thing about Tim Tebow...

And btw, why are congressional Republicans who rally against government spending wasting time to discuss Jason Collins or Tim Tebow? They're just athletes. Tebow's religion and Collins' sexuality are not the government's business.
