Right Wing Furious Michael Sam Gets Praise for Being Gay, but Tim Tebow 'Fed to a Lion for Being Christian'

Right Wing Furious Michael Sam Gets Praise for Being Gay, but Tim Tebow 'Fed to a Lion for Being Christian' | Communications Major | Scoop.it

By now, practically all of America has heard that Michael Sam on Saturday was picked by the St. Louis Rams, making him the first openly gay player drafted into the NFL. And by now, you’ve probably seen the photo of Sam tearfully kissing his boyfriend upon hearing the news, seen the video of them sharing an emotional kiss, and maybe even seen the video of Sam smearing cake into his boyfriend’s face, then kissing him. But what you may not have heard is a strong backlash from right-wing Christians, who make a valuable point (even when using less than appropriate language). When Tim Tebow, an in-your-face Christian flaunted his religious beliefs, he was repeatedly mocked, in many cases by the same people who are celebrating Michael Sam's public displays of affection.

The New York Jets' proposed acquisition of Tim Tebow from the Denver Broncos set off a Twitter firestorm, with everyone from former coaches to current players chiming in on what would be the biggest trade of the NFL offseason. You'll remember Tebow from the Tebowing craze of late 2011. The outwardly Christian quarterback gets down on one knee after every touchdown pass and thanks the Lord. Denver fans loved it, but what will New Yorkers think?
