ats_suck: I heard he was holding footballs in the original photo, and they were photoshopped out for the recent article. They own the rights to the original photos so they are able use them, But all the photoshopping they did really shows that GQ magazine lacks any journalistic credibility and has become a joke of a magazine.
I'm not shocked by the picture although if I shared his faith I would find it distasteful. It's in the same vein as his need to run to cameras to kneel. He doesn't see a problem in using his faith for his own fame and career.
He was holding a football in either hand. Kind of hard to prove he was consciously striking a Jesus pose. But as with all things Tebow, folks will draw their own conclusions and then organize the evidence in what ever way seems to suit their biases.
Christianity, isn't that the thing where the dude talks to a bush on fire, parts seas, survives in a whales belly, santa claus, easter bunnys and all that pagan holiday stealing jazz? That's some funny fiction. A good comedy but still can't top the mormons. Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2
He foresaw back in high school that if he just stayed at it for 7 or 8 years, eventually, the cameras would start showing it and it would become a phenomenon.
LOL only time anyone gave a crap was when he posted 6 comeback victories as a starter and people started associating devine intervention with the wins , it's such a huge made up media thing .
I don't care enough to fish through 15 games last year to find it. An obvious example, if that picture isn't it, is when he appeared at the grammys and Katy Perry did that whole thing with him where she was Tebowing on the stage with him. He didn't seem to find a problem with his religion being a "thing". He voluntarily appeared. They practice those routines beforehand. He knew it was coming.
So what ? You made a statement about him "running to the cameras" to kneel and pray. he doesn't do that. He kneels and prays and the cameras seek him out. It's like if you see a picture of him in the center of the field in a players prayer circle. Neither he nor the other players ran to the cameras for that, that's where they hold it and the cameras come over to get a picture of it.
It sounds like you might be the one discriminating since shoe shiners come in all races, colors and backgrounds.
