We read:
"Tim Tebow is more than just a sports phenomenon. He’s a cultural phenomenon. For starters, Tebow’s very existence is somehow controversial. He’s a walking pro-life testimonial. He’s been pulling off comebacks since before he was born. Pam Tebow, Tim’s mother, courageously chose to carry baby Tim to term despite doctors’ recommendations that she abort him.
You may recall that before Tim went pro, the Christian group, Focus on the Family, commissioned an innocuous TV ad that ran during the 2010 Saints-Colts Super Bowl game. It briefly told the story of the Tebows’ pre-natal struggle. The word “abortion” was never even uttered, but a positive portrayal of childbearing was all it took.
And so began the left’s hate affair with Tim Tebow. Radical feminist groups, media-types and liberal pundits alike lost their collective noodle even before the ad ran.
Erin Mattson, vice president of The National Organization for Women (NOW), told ABC News that Tim’s story of survival was “really quite offensive. … This ad is hate masquerading as love!” she barked. Tim wasn’t dismembered alive and scraped in pieces from his mother’s womb, you see.
The New York-based Women’s Media Center launched a failed censorship petition drive to pull the ad, framing it as an “attack on choice.” Get it? Pam Tebow chose alright; she just happened to make the wrong “choice,” and dared to share about it publicly.
But as a Denver Bronco, Tim Tebow’s profile has grown exponentially. So too has the left’s hatred for him. This is due in large part to his very open Christian faith. After each game, Tim begins by thanking God: “First and foremost, I’d like to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
And who hasn’t heard of “Tebowing,” wherein one drops to a knee in prayer?

Re: playoffs: I guess Jesus likes Tom Brady better than Tim Tebow. There is always next year...
Tebow Fan,
Jesus doesn't work like that. He gives us the strength and drive to do what we can in a given situation, and the humility and understanding to accept what we cannot do or accomplish.
If you listened to Tebow after the game, he stated it so much better than I could.
Someone please tell that old hen from NOW to stop her mindless clucking
If 'Choice' is really an option, then why all the hate for those women who choose not to have an abortion? The older I get, the more 'Pro-Choice' seems to be pro-death, and if you don't make the 'right' choice, you are a pariah among the 'pro-choice' crowd. How shameful.
54% of Republicans believe god is helping Tebow on the field.
If, after scoring, Tebow faced to the east and gave Thanks to Allah, the media-types would be falling over themselves praising everything about him, right down to his toilet habits.
The fact that leftists are having a collective apoplectic fit over a professional athlete, all the while their beloved president and his buddies are pushing our economy and culture into the toilet, is very telling.
The very reason liberals hate him is becuase he is a devout christian and rejects this scientology,dawrinism poppycock
54% of Republicans believe god is helping Tebow on the field.
Ask those same 54% if God is helping the other players as well. One question alone tells only about the ignorance of the pollster.
How pathetically primitive! As though there was any god who would favor their own team. (Sounds more like they were in the Roman Empire.)
