What Is So Wrong With This Picture?

I'm going to preface this by saying some people might not like to hear what I'm about to say and I never play the "race card" but enough is enough already. Why is that the Lions mocking "Tebowing" and the comments they made about his performance drawing such attention?

I'll tell you why, it's because Tim Tebow is white male who stays out of trouble and openly crams his religion down you throat, not to mention the ladies think he has a cute smile. So why is he so special from every other man on an NFL roster, why is it you can't point that his mechanics are horrible, that he can't hit water with a pass if he were on a boat in the ocean, that he wasn't deserving of a first round draft pick? Now you can't even take a knee and pray if you play him because clearly Tebow was the first and only player to ever do that in a game.

People say that Stephen Tulloch, who was seen "Tebowing" over Tebow after a sack was mocking him and his religion. Here's what Tulloch had to say:

" “The fact that anyone could ever say that I’m mocking God is outrageous,” said Tulloch. “We were just having fun. If you watch the game, the guys that parachuted into the game ‘Tebowed’ as they came down. It’s a fad. “I was able to get to Tebow and sack him first, so I did it. It wasn’t out of disrespect, it was out of fun.” "

I don't like when athletes try to force their religion on me every time someone puts a microphone in their face, Kurt Warner was notorious for this. But you know what, Warner never ran and hid after a bad game he kept that forcing belief whether his team won or lost and whether he played great or awful. After Sunday's embarrassment of game, Tebow didn't want to say one thing about religion but only a week earlier it had everything to do with the Broncos comeback against a terrible Miami Dolphins team.

Where were people to cry outlandishly like this when Andre Ware was being dragged through the mud, when Akili Smith was busting, Charles Rogers JaMarcus Russell and Lawrence Phillips. Yeah sure, you laughed at Joey Harrington because Tony Siragusa basically questioned Harrington's sexuality when he mocked him for playing the piano and saying he probably enjoys strawberries and champagne. Everyone had a good time when Ryan Leaf blew up because in all honesty he was a bad QB on a bad team and he made things interesting with his temper. I don't recall anyone fighting for these guys.

Or how about when people openly mocked Shawne Merriman and his celebration. What about LaDanian Tomlinson and his TD celebration that teams love to mock when they play him? Those dumb enough to mock Ray Lewis end up paying the price because Lewis usually tags them pretty good but no one says anything. The only people to complain are the ones being jocked, sans Lewis. LT cried like a baby about but no one went on a mission to help him and crucify those who mocked he and Merriman.

To Tebow's credit, he came out and said he found nothing wrong with what happened. And it's not his fault that he isn't a good QB yet (although I don't see things getting a lot better), not his fault Denver foolishly traded up to get him in the first round. It is someone's fault though.

So you tell me, what's so wrong with this picture?
