If you have been following this blog as closely as I have for it’s entire four day existence, then you will notice that my reoccurring theme and interest in football in that the sport is just a microcosm of our society.
My first post was on Tim Tebow and his personality and beliefs causing controversy. So I would like to update you on the latest “controversy” surrounding Mr. Tebow.
Pro Football Talk is reporting that Tebow asked for a prayer before taking a personality and intelligence test at the NFL combine and that an “anonymous” player responded with “Shut the f—k up” and that other players in the room laughed.
For those of you that don’t know, Pro Football Talk is the TMZ of the football media world. Their sheer amount of information and resources make them hard to ignore. This type of story is their expertise.
Tebow denied the story in an interview with PFT and said, ”One of the number one things for me is being someone of character and when I say something people can take it to the bank. That story is absolutely not true.” He also explained that BYU quarterback Max Hall was the only player he spoke to in a room of roughly one hundred.
The question is now this: what kid would you rather have working for you or with you? The “anonymous” player that blurts out an expletive when you say something he doesn’t agree with or the one that is honest and isn’t hiding from his beliefs or opinions?
