Why You Love To Hate Tim Tebow

A Heisman trophy winner, two-time BCS National Champion, a first round NFL draft pick and a major league outfielder. One of those things is not like the others, or at least it appears that way. Tim Tebow a man of many talents has been on quite the career search ever since his days at Florida have come to an end. Having bounced around the NFL, being apart of the Broncos, Jets, Eagles and Patriots organizations Tebow gas become a well-recognized analyst for the SEC network on ESPN. It appears that gig is just not quite enough as Tebow, is taking a swing at Major League Baseball. Baseball, a sport Tebow has not played in a competitive nature since his days in high school.

As crazy as this feat may sound, a baseball and football career has been done before by the likes of Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson. With that said even begining to mention Tebow with the likes of athletes of that caliber would drive Stephan A. Smith insane. There are gimmicks and then their is Tebow, the man, the myth, the legend. In a recent workout Tebow held for proffesional teams, Tebow wowed some and set the internet ablaze in a social media flurry. Perhaps the most accurate player comparison for Tebow in his workout was that of Pedro Cerrano from Major League.

All of the gimmicks MLB has pulled before this is perhaps the biggest of them all, at least at the moment. The part that makes this so much bigger than say Will Ferrel playing for 100 teams in a matter of three days is that to Tebow this is no joke, this is an honest attempt, his career. This is why the whole sports world loves to hate him oh so much. Tebow, the golden boy with an impeccable life style is as clean cut as they get. A hard-worker with strong religious up-bringing, has done nothing but win in his career and as it appears just a stand up person. It is for these reasons that we love to hate Tebow so much. It is that in this day and age we are oh so used to athletes becoming a public spectacle it is almost that when someone like Tebow comes around it grabs our attention even more. That is any other athlete were to attempt a new sport nobody would even bat an eye lash or care for that matter, but the second the whispers of Tebow emerged the sports world had turned into a frenzy. This athletes that the media has decided to take and run with is for all intensive reasons boring yet with the amount of screen time he has undergone it has seemingly turned the view of him sour.

In reality Tebow is just another talent who has not been able to stick onto a proffesional sports like so many before him. Due to his celebrity status he stands out amongst the rest as Tebow is not just another athlete or another headline. Tebow is the man you love to hate.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
