By request: Does God care about football?

Broncos Quarterback Tim Tebow is really religious, and lets everyone know it. After a recent surprising win, he thanked Jesus. Freepers debate whether God cares about football, and end up concluding that the press hates Tebow because he is white:
MHGinTN assures us no one prays for anything as petty as victory:
Most games, after the game is over, Christian Athletes gather in prayer for anyone injured during the game and to thank God for the competition and the continued opportunities. Have you ever noticed that Christian athletes will kneel in prayer when someone is badly injured, during the timeout to bring the fallen competitor to medical treatment?
Rightly Biased feels oppressed:
Christ is offensive to the “world” plain and simple,,, Keep it up Tebow
ForAmerica too:
The world hates Jesus and wants Tim to do bad because of his faith in Jesus
What is this "the world hates Jesus" meme? Victimism writ large, I guess?

rcrngroup notes the press doesn't care about a black guy kneeling nearly as much as a white guy talking to the press:
In the Packer-Viking game yesterday, as soon as (I think it was) Greg Jennings made a TD catch he dropped to knees and it was an obvious prayer..... not one single comment was made by any of the sports announcers. So blacks can cavort & worship & praise God, but whites cannot? That's what it looks like to me. More double standards & hyprocrisy by the leftie media that won't condemn a black Christian for saying or doing the very same things that Tim Tebow is doing.
Seriously, Let Tebow Cavort, MSM!!

  1. I seem to remember Jesus saying something in the Bible about not praying in public, and that it's something only hypocrites do.

  2. I'm changing the name of my band to Cavort, Worship & Praise. It's catchy.

  3. It's surprising that the freepers find the time to discuss sports, what with the imminent collapse of Real American™ society they're always going on about. You'd think they'd all be out stockpiling canned foods and bullets.
