Tebow *does* make himself look ridiculous to part of the crowd. When in college, I was part of that crowd.
He makes himself look heroic to others.
.................
How does the demographic break down? Right now, Tebow is the most popular athlete in the U.S.A.
A 90-10 demographic doesn't make Tebow right, of course. But he has 90% of the crowd cheering wildly, and 10% throwing paper cups. Do Presidents Obama or Bush get that kind of home/road split?
Would that we all made such an impression, right? :- )
.................
I deeply appreciate your saying that for Tebow, the appropriate "punishment" is that he gets to look ridiculous. And the 10% have every right to criticize him. As long as his "punishment" doesn't extend to getting his family abducted in the middle of the night -- as it would have in Stalinist Russia -- I'm cool.
