Just ordered my Tebow shirt today for the next game!!
I am a Dolphin fan no less.
I know when I put on my polarized sunglasses I see things much more clearly.
If Tebow were black, he’d be Darrell Greene and the media would avoid him.
Rush has been too busy to notice but the media has called Tebow “polarizing” for about two months now.
It used to be that if the media disliked someone but were afraid to say it, they would call him “controversial”. Often they would say the word with arched brow.
But I presume the word “polarizing” now polls better than “controversial” so the media uses it to let you know they hate Tebow but don’t dare admit it publicly.
Think of it similar to the way the media used “gravitas” when discussing Dick Cheney. “Polarizing” Tim Tebow will be the buzzword everywhere before long.
They make him a "polarizing" point, not because of what he does or does not do, but because he represents the millions who may have been and may yet be deprived of the opportunity to star as athletes, artists, musicians, scientists, world leaders, and on and on.
His existence reminds them of the unintended consequences of their most-cherished policy.
Exactly
It is the media who gets bent out of shape about his kneeling after a TD
So he kneels and points skyward while the rest do some kind of weird dance etc
SO WHAT
Before Tebow, there was Kurt Warner.
Actually it’s not much different than what happened a few years ago when the Cardinals, with Kurt Warner, made the Super Bowl. Suddenly the Cardinals, the lowly Cardinals, the most irrelevant team in the NFL, overnight became ‘America’s Team’ because of Kurt Warner, only the Steeler Nation wanted Pittsburgh to win that Super Bowl.
Me too!
Thanks, it was much easier to merge the drawings and post them than I thought it would be.
Ive always been impressed by what Freepers can do.
For me, it got old and lame after he scored the winning touchdown against the Jets. Pundit called him "the most polarizing athlete I've ever seen".
Please.
More than Ali? More than Favre? More than Barry Bonds? More than Deion Sanders? More than [plug in the name of your favorite whiny diva "poison in the locker room" wide receiver]?
He's "polarizing" because it gives the mediots something to talk about. It's good for their pocketbooks.
As someone put it about a month ago. “To the media, if you kill dogs or text your junk to single women, that’s okay but if you bow down and quote scripture, they consider you “polarizing”.
[FF] ....he thanked his mom for not having aborted him. That’s what’s driving the left nuts!
[Deo volente] You nailed it.
Concurring bump. WINNAH! All too true.
