Holy shite some of y'all are pathetic. At least he is trying to make a difference in this world. He can't help that every thing that he does is plastered all over ESPN... Maybe he should refuse to stand up during the national anthem. Maybe more people will like him.

Take a look at the TTF page and look at all the great things that have happened throw HIS foundation. And if you can't admit to that then God help you

Baffles the amount of pure hatred people have for someone else over pure jealousy.

frick off.

Tebow's still done more good for people than you ever will.. and it certainly doesn't include bitching and moaning.

No one is making anyone buy it. No one.

It's ridiculous how you people live to just hold anything and everything against the man. Imagine if he actually did do something wrong. We'd never hear the end of it from you assholes.

Tebow might be the biggest attention whore we've seen in athletics in a while. I'm so glad he sucked in the NFL.


That must make you feel so great. Way to be bigger as frick.

Tebow still has had a very successful athletic career.

It's fricking ridiculous you people root for the man the fail. He didn't do shite to you. He's given back more to charity than you ever care to.. often he doesn't even publicize it, because of assholes like you looking to rip anything he does.

He's an annoying attention whore. Sorry calling a spade a spade triggers you.

I'm glad he gives back, but that doesn't mean he isn't an annoying attention whore.

They only hear what they want to hear.. they don't care about the good he does.

They just want to hate on the man.. but it's fine for anyone else to make public appearances and get paid..

I have more respect for Tebow after his Prom Night in several states he put together for disabled children.. but by all means these people can continue rooting for his failures.

It's pretty sad. Tebow never pushed anything on anyone either.. he lives his life according to his faith and people perceive that a certain way.. Even as a nonbeliever, people could respect Tebow's dedication and morality.. but they choose to hate the man any way possible.. because what? Because ESPN and the media hyped him like crazy? He was a heisman winning QB.. So what if he was a polarizing figure. It's amazing he hasn't screwed up, because people would love to just bash the shite out of him over any mess up. Even though Tebow would probably the first person to forgive someone else for their wrongdoings.

Tebow is about the last person anyone should be pulling against or hating.. but some people just can't stand good and want them so desperately to be fake.. even though as I said.. he's not casting any stones.. he's just living his life as he wishes and people should leave the man alone.

No, actually he has not.

He's actually stayed out of the spotlight.. he's done several public things without any media attention.

Why not let the man live his life just as anyone else?

Tim Tebow is trying to redefine Valentine's Day. Last year, the former NFL quarterback – and current SEC Network analyst – created a special prom night for thousands of people with disabilities. During Valentine's Day weekend of 2015, the Tim Tebow Foundation sponsored 44 simultaneous prom events in 26 states, as well as two locations in Uganda and Kenya. More than 7,000 people with special needs dressed in tuxes and gowns for their first prom experiences. More than 15,000 volunteers made the events happen around the globe. At the end of the night, each of the participants was crowned as a king or queen of the night. Tebow got into the act, flying to two locations and surprising the participants by taking photos with them and shining their shoes.


And he didn't publicize it to the media for any attention whatsoever.


quote:

Guests will arrive on a red carpet that includes photographers. (Tebow calls them "friendly paparazzi.") Once inside, guests can get their corsages and boutonnieres, visit hair and makeup stations, and participate in a karaoke room. And yes, there will be dancing. To make it all happen, the Tim Tebow Foundation provides each prom with financial support, decorations and gifts for each participants, and step-by-step guidance to make the prom a success. Tebow is thrilled about the event's 450% increase since last year. "Every time I think about it, I'm so humbled and amazed by the way God has continued to grow Night to Shine," he tells PEOPLE. "I can't wait for February 12th; it's my favorite night of the year."

While most of the proms are held in churches, the events are open to all people with special needs,

So he gives all the glory to God and he even welcomes those of any faith to attend.. not telling anyone how they should live, rather leading his life by example.

quote:

For the 28-year-old Tebow, Night to Shine represents a plan that he's had since he was young. "When I was 15 years old, I began to realize the importance of fighting for people who can't fight for themselves," he tells PEOPLE. "As a foundation, we are so passionate about people with special needs, and this event is a great


I will forever respect that. I don't give a shite if Tebow wants to try out for baseball (it's his life, he's an athlete) and even sells memorabilia. I mean really, WTF is wrong with people.

FWIW there is no game I rooted harder for than when Tebow and the Gators came to LSU in 2007. I wanted LSU to beat them more than any other game, ever.. but since his playing days, he has displayed a ton of respect for Louisiana and LSU and I have nothing but respect for this man.

I will defend anyone who stands up for sick and needy children. I don't care what kind of professional career they had in sports or if they sell bats on the side. It's America. No one is forcing anyone to buy it. Oh my goodness, the horror.. What a terrible person.

People market all sorts of stuff. We could use more people who actually have class and morality these days.. and selling bats on the side does not compromise that.

He will never run out of autograph money...he has a built-in fanbase that has nothing to do with how good or bad he is at sports.

Tebow is the baptist version of a Mormon; he's got a gang backing him regardless.

Selling balls and bats doesn't make you an attention whore. Trying to play baseball doesn't make you an attention whore. ESPN just has an unhealthy obsession with him. Not really his fault. If he were really an attention whore he'd have tried a new position to stay in the NFL. No sport gets more attention than the NFL

He's not an attention whore. At least I think.

IDK, why people think that.

He's trying to make a living as an athlete.

Unless, he soon decides he just wants to be famous for being famous. IDK.

But he does have this fallback faith fanbase...that springs to action we he re-renters the spotlight.

There's still a lot of people hoping he can one day be professional awesome.

ESPN is garbage so no point in discussing that point with you.

I think people have a little problem with Tebow easily getting a massive tryout despite being nobody in baseball...while you have guys toiling in the minors way better than him.

That's when they say, he's a Kardashian...and getting love without doing or proving anything.

But I think Tebow has done enough sports-wise to get the benefit of the doubt and some chances.

I think Tebow is a great person and genuine, but this isn't true. It was a featured story in People after they interviewed him about it and tagged along with him for the trip.

The attention doesn't change the deed

Have you never met a Florida fan? Tebow could piss on a dead hamster and it would sell.

Lochte is next.
