Tim Tebow makes Time's 100 Infleuntial List

[lilwriter85]

Tebow shouldn't be on that list. He is an average at best quarterback who barely carried a team into the playoffs. Part of the reason, the Broncos made into the playoffs is because they were in a weak division. Tebow isn't the first Christian in the NFL. He is smug and annoying.

QFT. It never ceases to amaze me that individuals honestly believe that their god gives a rats furry posterior about their sports games. "Thank you Gawd for the touchdown, but never mind the starving people, abused people or others that are significantly less fortunate than I. Football!" :roll:

Yeah.

Tebow needs to pay attention.

This doesn't bother me too much because I have ZERO respect for Time magazine. Or Tim Tebow, for that matter.

If Christians were persecuted, the nation wouldn't be obsessed with Tebow, and he wouldn't be considered influential. What the hell has he even done???

what has Tim Tebow ever done but throw a football and declare God as his savior? I hate the way angelina jolie broke up brad and jen's relationship, but she is very generous. I would think anybody who gives 1/4 of their income or more to charity, is, in my book, more eye opening then thanking god for a good play in football.

tim tebow misrepresents. i thought prayer was a one on one experience and a conference with god. I would never make that appointment with such an important person in public. i thought that prayer involved a tad of humility. i guess it involves an audience. silly me

Not only is Tebow not the first pro athlete to be loud'n'proud about his Christianity on and off the field, he is HARDLY the first pro athlete to be active in charity work, i don't know what the hell vague leadership bs they're talking about when all they mean is piety, and though I admit I haven't seen his financials, I'm willing to bet you all my Fritos up front that he's not the most generous of all pro athletes, or even the hardest working when it comes to causes.

Even Sean Avery (the guy everyone hates) stumped actively for marriage equality in New York state. Oh, but he's not religious***. And gays are evil. So forget that...

***or else he is but doesn't use it for publicity, which would make him a far better man than Tebow

Being popular does not always mean that a person is influential. It is possible to be very influential without being well known.

Tebow is probably a very nice person but he isn't influential enough to be counted among the top 100 people. Yes, he has been involved in some charity but so have many celebrities. Worse, when I hear about his involvement in charity, it is usually to let the public know how great he is not to bring attention to that particular cause. That doesn't mean that he is at fault for how the media reports on his activities but it does mean that he isn't really influencing any policies.
