Farkers hate Jeebus.

I don't hate Jesus. I don't even know the guy. What I dislike is what so many people choose to do in his name. I also believe he was just a man, not the product of a holy gang-bang on an underage virgin.

He knows you and he loves you.

[Evidence Needed]

Step 1. Demonstrate Jesus existed and is not an amalgamation of apocalyptic preachers from the first century and previous myths.

Faith, brother.

I have faith in evidence. You have faith in nothing.

Jesus makes Himself evident to me every single day. I have faith that I will be saved. I pray you find the way before it is too late.

What the hell is this hippy shiat in my sports-tab?

Hippie? That is a low blow, man.

I call it like I see it.

You borrowing glasses from the Hanson's?

No. You borrowing a skirt from Crosby?

This thread needs more Tebow. Here's a picture of him hiding behind a kid in a wheelchair (while getting booed). Surely he is history's greatest monster and deserves our scorn.

Di Atribe: Haha do you spend any time in football threads at all? Roethlisberger has quite the backing here on the Farks. Steelers have the 3rd most fans on Fark, and you betcherass Big Ben's got his fans.

yeah but i think there's a lot less of the people who defend Roethlisbergers whole "being a scum bag" thing. I think Big Ben is a really good QB and i think the steelers generally put together an excellent team, but i also think that Ben is a total scummer. I think his fans (at least here) are more of the "bad person/good player- i can live with that" view.

xpisblack: moralpanic: Probably because people are tired of religion being mixed with everything. Religion with politics. Religion with schools. And now religion in sports?

Yes, because religion has never been mixed with sport before. Koufax never sat out a game in deference to Yom Kippur, no one ever knelt in prayer before Tebow started genuflecting, and certainly no athlete has ever thanked a divinity for success in sport. It took a Tebow to blend those two utterly unconnected realms.

/I don't mind a Christianist hack; I object to a cut-rate one.

They were interviewing Tebow after a game and there are a group of 30 guys, from both teams, pray together at mid-field. Not a peep.

He was wearing a Yanks cap and he isnt from NY or a fan. So he got booed. It has nothing to do with religion.

He looks like the hulk in that picture. I need to find a sickly kid to make me look all buff too.

Coco LaFemme: Also, because most Yankees fans are obnoxious assholes. I should know, I am one. A Yankees fan that is, not an obnoxious asshole. I'm just an asshole without being obnoxious about it. :-)

You're forgetting Rule #1.

Vinz_Clortho: So, submitter....how does it feel to be way less successful than a no-talent ass clown?

I am much less successful than many people I consider no-talent ass clowns, and it is a mix of feelings. Superiority, in that I am not be as successful as them, but I am a better person. Sadness, in that our society rewards that which will accumulate the most money, not that which is most worthwhile. Frustration, in that I do not have the mix of self confidence and lack of self awareness that allows people to spew bullshiat as fact in order to get paid. Irritation, in that while I have ideas, I do not consider any of them to be worthwhile enough to pursue. Comfort, in that even though I may never have enough money and hate my job, it is easier to Fark on my lunch break and b*tch than to pursue other opportunities.

Nah, the kid makes him look like the hulk. Normally he just looks buff. I mean for Tebow's sake, his leg is bigger than that kid's entire body.

Don't let Romo catch you posting that crap...

Tebow seems like a nice enough guy, and I respect the charitable stuff he does. I don't even mind him being religious. What I have a problem is the way he has to make sure the cameras are on him to see him being religious. Stop with the proselytizing already.

/And I'd totally give him the most disappointing 5 minutes of his life. Tebow is a fine looking dude.

moralpanic: Probably because people are tired of religion being mixed with everything. Religion with politics. Religion with schools. And now religion in sports?

Yep... I don't care if someone does a quick 'Point to the sky' thing after a score, or even a quick 'God was with us' at the press conference, but the constant in your face, over and over and over and over and over gets extremely old. Tebow isn't even that good of a QB, but we had to keep hearing about how he prayed, and how important his faith was, and how much he thought Jesus was a super swell guy, over and over and... You get the idea.

Keep your preaching in church.

Worst part is: Tebow's probably a nice guy, but nobody has told him that people in general get tired of the 'Jesus' thing real quick. Hell, just the opposite, they've been milking it for all they're worth.

ManRay: I don't see how he can be considered non-talented (Heisman winner), and by all accounts personally he's a nice guy so the ass clown thing is is suspect too.

There is plenty of documented evidence that New Yorkers are classless assholes though. Some are even proud of it.

Being a sanctimonious god-botherer goes a long way toward lowering the general opinion of someone, good as they may be in other areas.

Religion has to do with why Tebow is so popular nationally outside of the sports sphere, but his presence at a MLB game is within the sports sprere. He was booed because he's at a Yankees game... Yankees fans = Giants fans who don't like the Jets + Jets fans who would like some veteran leadership and competent playmakers. There were also most likely some Knicks fans there who aren't the biggest D-Wade supporters. Add to the mix the fact that he's statistically the worst starting quarterback on ANY team in the past 40 years but has managed more TV time than MVPs or Super Bowl Champions, and as a result has been given multiple opportunities that others far more qualified than him should have gotten, and it's pretty simple. And honestly not many of the people commenting here actually have any knowledge of or vested interest in the Denver Broncos, New York Jets, or New York Yankees. Most are just talking shiat on Yankee fans, New York, Tebow, or Christianity.

"If I only I could just do this the whole game, and not have to worry about little things like throwing the ball...I'd be the greatest EVAR! Whoops, almost forgot...praise Jesus and whatnot."

Di Atribe: Actually.... he doesn't really get in your face about it. If someone asks him how he thought the game went and he'll say, "I'd like to thank the Lord for watching over us out there. I think we could improve in some areas, but overall, we played well." I'll roll my eyes at the first part, but he did say other things. I dunno. I think his lovers AND haters make way too big of a deal over what his personal beliefs are. I manage to ignore them. It's not that hard (thatswhatshesaid).

OK, blame the media ten, they spend the entire game, and then every available minute in between going on and on and on about how "spiritual" he is...

I don't understand your link, it doesn't look like Warner is telling him that people get tired of this shiat, which is what I said, nobody has told him. Hell, you even highlighted it, I figured it was a case of someone telling him that...

Jeeze, New York, what's your hurry?

You can boo him at Jets games soon enough...

Your Zionist Leader: I see lots of Steeler fans but not as many Roesthlisberger fans. I could just be in the wrong threads though. Point still stands, those two fit the definition of polarizing just as much as Tebow.


They fit the definition, but they don't pull in the same numbers. When saying someone is "the most polarizing figure", then you are looking for the greatest amount of animosity or disagreement. Vick and Roethlisberger don't come close.

To put it another way, it's the same as saying Kanye West is a more polarizing figure than Jay-Z. That doesn't mean that Jay-Z can't be a polarizing figure. It just means that Kanye is more likely to start a brawl than Jay-Z is.

Say what youy like about Tebow, the facts speak for themselves:

He took a down-and-out team which was falling to pieces, and started winning games while simultaneously posting the lousiest stats ever seen.

When he won that playoff game after a last-second 80-yard pass, he had everyone wondering if there wasn't something to this divine internevtion stuff after all.

Maybe a showboat, but the guy has talent.

I sort of see what you're saying, but the arguement with Tebow is more "I'm tired of hearing about a crappy should-be-a-backup" vs "ZOMG St Tebus our savior!" whereas with those two it's more "They're superstars" vs "ZOMG Rapist/ZOMG Dog killer!!"

Most Yankees fans are Giants fans.

/It was probably just fun to do.

He was wearing a Yanks cap and he isnt from NY or a fan. So he got booed. It has nothing to do with religion.

TimonC346: Dinobot: foo monkey: repeat. Link (new window)

This is more of a followup

Also, they missed the obvious answer: Yankees Fans

They spit on the wives of the opposing team players, so not surprised Tebow got booed.

Places like Boston and New York are notoriously hard on their sports players, and things like spitting on a player's wife is right on par with that. Booing Tebow is as well.

A ton of players end up in New York or Boston and simply can't hang, especially for baseball. People watch your every move, criticize you endlessly when you don't seem to be living up to what you've been paid, and the press is always watching. I'm pretty sure most people in New York have their loyalties to Sanchez, and Tebow is a threat to that.

Silly as it is, some places take sports much, much more seriously than others.


You're pretty much right, except for the part where you are dead wrong. New York is probably one of the places where fans take their sports the least seriously. Green Bay centers everything around the Packers. Lincoln, Nebraska is about nothing but college football. In NYC we have a wide variety of entertainment options.

The pressure that comes from playing in NYC has more to do with it being the media capital of the world than it does with zealous fans.

This.

He's a nice guy and does some good charity work but gaaaaaaaws STFU with the verses and shiat

Shtetl G: Tebow is a very talented football player. He is just not a good quarterback(on the pro level). The sooner he converts to a full time tight-end/hback, the sooner he get on with his very productive professional career. Pride is a sin too.

Have you ever heard a Tebow interview? He's super thankful for the opportunity to play. He's proud in no way. He tried out for the position and was good enough. Dangit, can't you come up with a good argument or insult?

olddinosaur: Say what youy like about Tebow, the facts speak for themselves:

Maybe a showboat, but the guy has talent.

Kyle Orton took a down and out Broncos team (coach "for life" Shanahan fired, Cutler traded, missed playoffs for 3 years running) and won 6 games in a row too. Remember those heady days? Remember Gus Johnson's meltdown when Stokely caught that deflection to beat Cincy?

Look how that turned out.

Your Zionist Leader: Sort of like believing in Jesus?

;)

It is a known fact that a Yankees fan will boo his own wife as she delivers their child. The fact they boo Tebow is not news, and not even Fark.
