Tebow called terrible--Why are so many people making fun of Tim Tebow? 
Nobody who watches football regularly seems to make fun of the guys who do a goofy little dance in the endzone or the fans or wear cheese hats on their heads or paint their faces and bodies in their team’s colors. Is it a big deal that the kid (I call him a kid because if I were in the NFL I would be at retirement age) kneels down and says a prayer in midfield? I guess I don’t see what the big deal is – it seems he’s expressing himself in a way that’s comfortable and familiar to him. We’ve seen other NFL players express themselves in all kinds of different ways -- sometimes those
expressions have resulted in poor press, an appearance before a judge and acriminal record.
Many players have charitable organizations or appear on behalf of causes, and we don’t mock them for their beliefs. Over and over again, we’ve seen that it’s not always wise to focus on a professional athlete for a role model – from Charles Barkley to Mike Tyson to Mark McGuire to Pete Rose, they may be great at what they do, but you probably shouldn’t hold them up to your kids as a shining example of how to act. So I guess it's nice to see somebody taking the field who doesn't throw a hissy fit, beat people up, pop steroids or make illegal bets. I know most of these players are not like that, but the most notorious seem to get the most exposure.
