Last week, Tim Tebow was released from his job as backup quarterback of the New York Jets
A few hours later, NBA veteran Jason Collins became the first active player in major professional sports to come out of the closet.
I saw this cartoon and found it to be fitting. The sports media was often critical of Tebow when he would profess his love for God. Tebow, a devout Christian, would begin every interview by thanking God. This rubbed some people the wrong way.
It was interesting when Collins, a 7 foot 12 yr journeyman, told the world that he was gay. The media applauded him. Some even called him a hero.
Collins is no hero. Nothing is wrong with Tebow.
Maybe the sports media has "overblown" it for both men?
As fans...do we care?
More importantly...do we have the right to judge?
I don't care. And I won't judge.

We're on the same train of thought... I don't care and definitely in no position to judge another.
Neither one of them are a hero off you ask me!
Can't we just focus on what our favorite athlete accomplishes in their respective sport instead of worrying about who they have in their bed? I swear the world would be an easier place to live in if everyone just managed their own business and let the Almighty handle folks accordingly during their assigned judgement day! It's unfortunate that society feels that because someone is 'famous' we have the right to scrutinize everything they do. I don't want anyone digging up my past skeletons because Lord knows, I would become a sacrificial lamb to the world! Think before you pass judgement because truth be told, it's not your right to judge anyway!
