That is exactly it. The whole "Tebow" phenomena was created by the media. He did not ask for all the attention and it is all the unwarranted attention that is making him such a divisive figure. I cannot care less if he is religious or not, the important thing is can he deliver the wins. If his faith is what motivates him to perform, he shouldn't be vilified for it.
He's an evangelist quarterback. He's not knocking on your door selling Jesus, he's tapping on your tv screen. I appreciate his desire to make the world a better place, I do but I can also see Jake Plummers side of things. -Just play football, it's a game... and guess what? God doesn't give a s__t who's winning and losing on the field.
I have not heard once where he preaches for people to convert to Christianity to save their souls from eternal damnation and such. And I do agree that God, if he/she exists, doesn't give a hoot about who is winning or losing a football game. There are much bigger issues in this world.
