The Hatred of Tim Tebow

This is worth a mention because I don't think all that many people listen to Bill Press. You may not have even heard of him; his ratings are so low that I can't even find them. So, for that reason, I must post this audio so that it can be archived for the future to hear.



Tim Tebow is really getting under the skin of the anti-Christian crowd in this country. I don't think his faith and his outward expression of it would be an issue if Tebow wasn't winning football games. But, since he is, a lot of people just seem to have a problem with him expressing how much of a role his Christianity plays in his life.

Some people, like Bill Press, are so uncomfortable with it that they want Tebow to "S-T-F-U", or for those of you who are acronymically challenged (yes, that is a made up word), it means, "Shut The F*** Up". It's amazing how many people want him to fail. Don't get me wrong, if the Broncos play the Steelers in the playoffs, I'd like to see him on the receiving end of another James Harrison hit, but that's football.

There's a level of intolerance building for people who are open about their Christianity. Let's turn the tables and look at this a different way. If Tebow were gay, would it be acceptable for me to say over the airwaves, "Just STFU about being gay already". If he were Muslim, would it be ok for me to say, "Just STFU about Allah!"? I have a right to say it, but to do so would be suicide for my career.

Mr. Press, you preach tolerance and acceptance, but you don't seem to practice it too much when it comes to Christians and conservatives. Perhaps that's why your ratings are as low as they are. Someone needs to ask Bill Press, "Who would you rather have over to dinner -- super-Christian quarterback Tim Tebow or convicted dog killer, Michael Vick?" Tebow hasn't raped anyone, shot anyone, shot himself, or killed any dogs. He's simply thanked Jesus Christ for being his Lord and Savior and for that he's being called a DISGRACE and an EMBARRASSMENT on the radio.

Here's my prediction. When he finally loses a big game, you'll here the calls from the haters:

"Where's your Jesus now?"

To that, the answer should be, "Still in my heart. He never went anywhere"
