He was traded to the New York Jets. I truly do not think he would be in the news so much if he was not so divisive. I believe he is so divisive because he is so showy with his religion.
He has been this way since college. Some people in his ear must have told him to tone it down, from a P.R. standpoint, in the NFL. But the fact remains that he wears his religion on his sleeve. And in our culture today, be it right or wrong, that sells well. People in the Bible belt eat that up. Every time he goes down on a knee to pray on the field, even though Jesus told us to pray in secret in our closets, millions of people think he is being a true witness of their faith. And when he goes on a commercial during the Super Bowl to promote so-called the "pro-life" camp, some people just can't get enough of it.
This year will truly tell whether Tebow is just a fad or is here to stay. He had quite a story, from a sports perspective, last year, as he led the Broncos to the playoffs. Now comes his biggest test of all, as he will be put under the NYC sports microscope.
Best of luck, Tebow . . .
