friendlyatheist: Friendly Atheist » Why Does Tim Tebow Get to Send Religious Messages in the NFL? Tebow is a professional football player for the Denver Broncos. But since the NFL already bans eye-black messages, he has to figure out a different way to send his Christian bat-signal… and it looks like he found it! As far as I can tell, Tebow has been issued no fine. Yet. (Incidentally, Kenny Britt of the Tennessee Titans was fined $5,000 because the towel attached to his uniform said “#10 VY” — a tribute to Vince Young. Britt accepted the fine and removed the towel for the second half of the game.) Why is the NFL letting Tebow’s violation slide? Who knows. I would bet you, though, they would immediately fine a player who wrote on his wristband: “There is no god.” Why is there a double-standard when it comes to openly Christian athletes? He is so annoying.

    So many people out here love him, and I’ve never really liked him. Probably because he starred in an anti-abortion...
