That's what they said about Mike Phelps, and as soon as it was uncovered that he smoked pot, he practically fell off the face of the Earth.
You want to put your great white, hetero, he-man athletes on a pedestal and make them examples for everyone else. That's what this is really about.
Choosing one out of a crowd of many only shows you are racist towards white, straight, SUCCESSFUL FAMILY men.
I did not put Tebow on a pedestal, he has EARNED his way to be a role model.
Heck, Obamie the Commie is an ex (?) druggie and alcoholic, still drinks tons of beer today and you say nothing. He even laid in the back of a limo with a freak and shared some nasty freak spit.
My God they are expressing their views, in public no less. The horror of it all. Hide the kids, unplug the TV. How will we survive. I weep for the future.
He has already done extremely well and has a bright future ahead of him.
justcause answered well. We all have skeletons in our closets. I'd bet even you, if push came to shove. (I hasten to add, me, too!) These kids get put on pedestals, and they go do something manyyoung adults do, like smoke marijuana, speed excessively, drive drunk, and everyone's like "Oh, my; I never thought he'd do something like that!" Let alone if he actually does something really bad, like commit a rape, etc.
Rather amazes me how many so called conservatives have become deep rooted apologists for any the religious right throws out there.
Quite pathetic actually. From a party that claims it's for "less government", how quickly they want the government in someone else's bedroom (banning gay marriage)and personal life (abortion)

Saying give life a chance is disgusting really? Was it disgusting that our parents kept us?
I give them props for standing up for what they believe even in the face of comments like this.
Oh. Good for you.
Normally, I am able to see the conservative side for many things as well. But I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER give a second thought to this "prolife" movement. It is a joke and pathetic to SAY THE LEAST! I don't know who it more pathetic. The so called "prolifers" or the pro illegal immigrants.
I love how the "prolife" movement says things like this but then are against anything that might help the poor or middle class. OMFG! IT IS SOCIALISM!!!!!!
Once again. Republicans: "Prolife" when you are in the womb. After that, see ya mother****er!
Focus on the Family will air a 30-second television spot featuring University of Florida star quarterback Tim Tebow and his mother Pam, during the Super Bowl Feb. 7.
The Colorado Springs-based media ministry shot the ad with the Tebows Tuesday in Orlando, Focus spokesman Gary Schneeberger said this morning. It is set to air before and then again during the CBS broadcast of the game from Dolphin Stadium near Miami, he said.
Tebow and his mother will share one of their many personal family-affirming stories, Schneeberger said, but he wouldn't reveal which one. One such story could be her decision to carry him to term despite a life-threatening pregnancy in the Philippines where she and her husband Bob were serving as Christian missionaries.
The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, known for being home-schooled, winning an NCAA championship and wearing Bible verse citations inscribed in his game-day eye black, agreed to appear in the ad because the issue of life is one he and his family feel strongly about, Schneeberger said.
Another sick, bigoted organization being given recognition they don't deserve. Just one more reason for gays and lesbians to not support homophobic, anti-gay professional sports, like football.
Tim is a great example of good upbringing. His family is a s solid as you can get. Great for them for teaming up with a great organization!
