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.
