John Green's tumblr: Why We Hate Tim Tebow
It’s not really about his religiosity, or even the way he uses his fame to evangelize. People, including me, are put off by Tebow because he is SINCERE, and cynical people dismiss all sincere worldviews, whether secular or religious.
Tebow exposes our cynicism. He is unafraid to care deeply and…
This basically sums up my feelings for Tim Tebow. I can’t really hate him for entirely being devoted to his faith, cuz it’s not like he’s trying to convert people in the field or anything. I also can’t hate him as a football player because he’s shown improvement in his game and he’s great at being a supportive and motivational leader in the game.
Tim Tebow’s just that person who’s constantly smiling and refuses to see anything wrong with the world that you just wanna smack upside the head, but you don’t because you know that that wouldn’t stop him from doing everything that he does.
But I’ll always hold a grudge because that jackass robbed Alabama of their 2008 perfect season only for us to come back the next year and send him off the field crying. JUST SAYING IS ALL.
