There's a flip side to your situation. Liberals would be supporting him instead of hating and mocking him the way they do now.
Dave I agree. This is why I say both Liberals and Conservatives do not understand true liberty and freedom. But I find it ironic that the right uses religious freedom to defend Tebow yet push so hard to get a TV show off the air showing Muslims in a good light. In a hypothetical of Tebow being Muslim I think we can all be near 100% certain the right would be screaming for him to keep quiet about his religion.
How is tebow going down on one knee any different than the people jumping around, throwing the ball into the crowd or players jumping into the crowd? Liberals just need something to be offended by and complain about.
Also, I remember the players that used to get down on one knee and do the sign of the cross back in the 90s, why didn't people go crazy about that?
Let's face it. He's a devisive figure. Next year in NY will tell a lot. Let's see what happens. He's now on a team with an incredibly foulmouthed coach, he's in a second string position, and he's surrounded by ego's that would make Obama jealous. If God really loves him, he'll kick ass. If not, he'll be yesterdays old news.
If I'm not mistaken, the NFL playoffs and Superbowl are concurrent with Ramadan. That would make it tough for Tebow if he were a Muslim. There was an NBA player named Chris Jackson who was a basketball genius in college but converted to Islam and became abdul-rauf. I remember his coach trying to get him to lay off the fasting during Ramadan by showing him video of how much he slowed down during Ramadan, but Abdul-Rauf refused. He did have some decent years in Denver but overall had a disappointing NBA career and wound up playing in Europe.
Observing Ramadan did not slow Olajuwon down.
