I wonder if Kurt Warner knows that bell bottoms are out of style 2011-11-28T20:00:00-04:00 Dave Griffey

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Don’t get me wrong, I respect Kurt Warner, the overtly religious NFL player who stood against anti-religious PC goodthink and openly gave praise to Jesus following his 2000 Superbowl victory. But now he’s coming out and standing hand in hand with our Big Politically Correct Brother and suggesting Tim Tebow embrace the Glorious Censorship. F-Bombs and bathroom humor are what the Founding Fathers meant, after all. They certainly didn’t expect a country where folks thought they could openly express their religious beliefs.

But the part that got me was this line:

“I know what he’s going through,” Warner told the Republic, “and I know what he wants to accomplish, but I don’t want anybody to become calloused toward Tim because they don’t understand him, or are not fully aware of who he is. And you’re starting to see that a little bit.”

Starting to see it? A little bit? What planet has he been living on for the last year? For those who don’t know, Tim Tebow was the darling of College Sports while he played his way to the Heisman Trophy. All you heard was one giant chorus of praise and adoration from sports fans and the generally hedonism-friendly sports media. That is, of course, until his infamous decision to blaspheme the Dogmas of Liberal Diversity by appearing with his mom in a Pro-Life Superbowl Commercial.

From that point, it got ugly. Tebow became an outcast, the sports media began emphasizing the criticisms that had been brushed away by so many. Suddenly, Tebow was an overrated no-talent religious hack who would get what he had coming to him when he went pro and showed the world just how lousy he was. That was then. Now that he has led the Broncos to a 5-1, critics are having a hard time trashing his talents. Grumbling and pissed, they can only grasp for straws and hope that Tebow implodes sometime in the near future.

And it’s into this that Warner, who now works for the NFL Network it should be noted, comes out and suggests Tebow put some tape over his mouth when it comes to bearing witness to his faith? Hmmmm. Call me skeptical, and maybe Warner is doing it for the best reasons, but I can’t see why now is the time to step up to the pulpit of modern intolerance and pitch one for the arm of the media most concerned with bust lines and beer bellies. After all, no matter why he did it, the reason for such outcry is still the result of an anti-religious and anti-Christian popular culture where Moloch and Mammon are worshipped and glorified, and they will suffer no challengers. If I were Tebow, I would thank the excellent Warner for his advice, and then continue being the rebel and the counter-cultural icon that he has become.
