Jeff Capellini, a writer for WFAN.com in New York, suggests that the media has a lack of responsibility in reporting news about Tim Tebow. Capellini -- who has the Twitter handle @GreenLanterJet -- says the media rushed to report unsubstantiated rumors from unnamed sources solely as a "cheap way of creating a buzz."

I suggest that the media has an agenda to destroy Tim Tebow, an outspoken Christian. Many in the New York media have an anti-religious bigotry and mock Tebow at every chance. Now they have an unreliable story that negatively affects his relationship with his New York fans. They ran the story to discredit Tebow and possibly hurt his career in New York.

NEWYORK.CBSLOCAL.COM reports:
So now we're all in Tim Tebow's head. That's good to know going forward because I, for one, am dying to know how he thinks the upcoming season of "Survivor: Philippines" is going to shake out.

    I think they hate anyone with a religion, Christians are at the top of the list. They seem to not have much of a problem with Muslims.

    Yes. Tebow is way to clean for our media especially the scum bag New York boys. No scandals. No shooting himself in the leg, pulling out his cell phone after scoring a touchdown etc.

    You people have some type of complex. The media had a press conference for Tim. He is a dang back up... and he gets more time spent talking about him on ESPN than most starters.

    Since when is public display of a particular religion in sports appropriate. Does he not think that their were believers on the opposing team who also prayed, but in their secret place like their holy book says?

    Athletes throughout history have done things similar to this. I don't think you'll ever find anything coming from Tebow criticizing anybody's religion. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to "pray continually" and there's no way to do that if you're in a closet.
  • JDog_90305 boneman1 2012/09/17 18:55:40

    You can pray at anytime and anywhere, no one has know, no need to make a spectacle. Pray in court, pray in school, pray at work at your desk, pray while walking down the streets, while driving, anywhere. Haven't you ever done that? LOL SMH

    Matthew 6:5-6 KJV

    5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

    6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

    Those verses were talking about hypocrites. If you examine Tim Tebow's life and what he's done it's pretty obvious to anyone that he's the real deal and there's nothing hypocritical about his faith.
  • JDog_90305 boneman1 2012/09/17 20:02:36
    JDog_90305
    Looks like you're saying that hypocrites should pray in secret and those who strive to live righteous are allowed to pray openly. Is this true? LOL

    To me it seems this is directed at all men,and that's the way I was taught in church but if you say its directed only at the hypocrites then fine.

    There are over 30,000 denominations of Xianity. The reason for that is Xians cannot agree on the meaning/translation of their scriptures. SMH

    I hold good thoughts for more knowledge for us all.
  • boneman1 JDog_90305 2012/09/17 20:11:21

    If they're really a hypocrite are they really praying or just trying to draw attention to themselves?

    I go to church and read the bible, but I'm certainly not going to try and tell anyone what something in their means to them. Just my personal take on it.

    I appreciate the discussion. If nothing else it give me something to think about.

    The media makes him a story 24/7, which leads to him obtaining multiple marketing deals.

    I think many members of the media have the same thought that i do - Tebow is too good to be true.

    on the football side, the only way he will replace Sanchez is if Sanchez gets hurt

    They can, and do, go out for, and many times are successful in destroy anyone that stands up for their beliefs that don't coincide with their agendas, naming anything good, or in the name of Jesus.Having a thirst for greed, death, destruction, drama, murder, cheating, addictions, lieing/ cheating, and worshiping the almighty dollar are great values deemed worthy of concern by them, and if you're not down with that, than you are against them. and anyone who doesn't play their game by their rules is fair game as far as they are concerned. For example, Just look what they did to Howard Dean during the campaign, for one. (I do not know much about him-and do not care personally about him one way or another, but i did feel bad for how he was treated)
    They (the media) played that clip of that poor man's voice cracking during a speech, over and over again to make him look like he was a yahoo because they didn't like him. it was on every news show, every talk show, every radio report. Over and over again. And in the end, they suceeded.

    The media is a vessel for evil and a means to warp the minds of way too many.
    God help us all.

    Any time Christianity is involved they come after them.. Look at the DNC platform they want to take Christianity out of every thing, they are already categorizing Christians as the hate group because they won't support a woman's right to choose even though the democrats support aborting a child up until the ninth month..

    The Gay issue it's more then just marriage alone, they want to be considered a race and not just a choice for them.. They want to come after Christian organizations as they did the boy scouts or any one else that opposes them.. The Chicken place just voiced an opinion and a belief as well as the boy scouts did but both have been tagged as hate groups.
    But notice how the Liberals treat the Muslims compared to the Christian they say that the Christian comes to you in hate but then turns around and sais the Muslim comes in peace, even though it's none to popular to be gay in and Islamic community IT's OFF WITH YOUR HEAD

    It's very unlikely that they truly know Christ personally because if they did they would become conservative minded. You are right they either come from a Jessie Jackson kind of church or a Catholic church that doesn't preach on Righteousness, all they know is that Peter was the first Pope, at least that is what they are told, and that the Priest is their over sear to follow instead of Christ alone.. Obama is one of those kind of Christians that follows his own conscious instead of the consciousness of Christ.. The word Christian means to have the mind of Christ
