If you don’t follow American professional football (I don’t) the hubbub over this story will seem surprising.
There’s a viral craze online making fun of a football player named Tim Tebow.
“Tebowing” is a neologism derived from Tebow’s propensity for kneeling and praying. …
… they mimic a pose by Tebow that was caught on camera following the Broncos’ improbable overtime victory over the Dolphins on October 23, 2011 …
Funny? Maybe.
But I don’t like seeing people — even millionaire celebrities — mocked for their religion.
Criticize him for being a bad football player, if you like. That’s OK with me. But religious intolerance is going too far.
I’m going to ignore tebowers from here on in. But if you want to know more, read the WSJ.
