I couldn't care less, even if I gave two sh!ts about football. However, some of the God squad would be none too appreciative of his heretical shenanigans.
Why do Americans have to be so "sensitive" ? Soccer players, both Muslim and Christian, do this all the time in Europe and other parts of the world, and no one gives a s****. Let people do whatever the f**** they wonna do.dangamit
99.9% of the time a player's religion doesn't matter over here either.
Part of Tim Tebow's hype, for whatever reason, is because he's an evangelical Christian.
Allah and God are the same thing so he would be doing the same thing wouldn't he?sergemyster8
true Allah is just Arabic for god
He wouldnt be as popular because like it or not most people are catholic in the US.AdamPA1006Most people are christian in the US. However, catholics may be one of the popular subgroups, but I dont think they are the most popular.
As Islam and Christianity are both Abrahamic religions, he would literally be thanking the same deity regardless.And I wouldn't care one way or the other.mattbbplThis. I believe he might even refer to that deity as 'God' still.
Then... well, who cares? He wouldn't be loved by the Christians and Hated by Atheists, he would instead be loved by Muslims and still hated by Atheists (and probably some Christians).
Honestly though, he's a pretty good player. Makes the skeptic in me question if there is a God, and if he does watch football when someone like Tebow can make those turnarounds.
I would find it just as pretentious and cloying as his current display.Frame_DraggerI think he is genuine because he really does need to pray. Cause he really sucks and has no chance otherwise, lol.

For some reason I always wonder how there can be so much hate against Muslims by some some Christians and vice versa.
I mean, they worship the same God. Jeez, its like a more hardcore version of Baptists vs Catholics are some ****.

Cause he really sucks and has no chance otherwise, lol. Heh... I think it's great that he believes in a god that gives a flying fuсk about how his team does. That's a special kind of hubris, IMO... then agian, I also think he's praying ot nothing sooooo... Still, I guess the Pats' god was better than Tebow's god.... or something.

Good question... ask that cсnt "Pinch"... he seems to have that hate going on, maybe he can answer.I would still be completely sick of hearing about him.

This.
I like my football coverage to be about the playing of football, not what some guy is doing on the side of the field while he's not actually being that remarkable at the game he's playing.
Im saying if he were any other relgion and started thanking god, im sure fox news would say hes going overboard with it
When Mike Tyson got out of jail he thanked Allah after every fight for awhile. I don't remember too many complaints about it.
But then again, this was pre 9/11, so I can't say what would happen now. Haven't paid too much attention to him since he went on a losing streak and only remember him from the Hangover.
