I searched and found nothing. He did cancel a few speaking appointments to avoid controversy. 3 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: I don't speak for Twitter. I speak for myself. What did Tebow say that was so "distasteful"?

Tim Tebow associates with Focus on the Family which is an organization that advocates against LGBTQ rights including promoting conversion therapy.

Look into some of the organisations he has worked with and delivered speeches for. Tim Tebow has spoken at Passion Conferences numerous times. That is a movement founded by a pastor by the name of Louie Giglio a renowned homophobe who supports conversion therapy. 3 minutes ago, Pondslider said: Tim Tebow associates with Focus on the Family which is an organization that advocates against LGBTQ rights including promoting conversion therapy. Yep they are another one. You really do not have too dig far. He has an unfortunate habit of associating with groups with similar views. Edited August 17, 2021 by GunnerBill 1
ColoradoBills Posted August 18, 2021 Posted August 18, 2021 Tim Tebow could not transform his college success to the NFL. That little dot and the end of the sentence was a period. 1 1 1
ChronicAndKnuckles Posted August 18, 2021 Posted August 18, 2021 I won't lie, I'm pretty disappointed. I've never seen a player get as much undeserved hate as Tebow. I wanted him to make the team, have a semi productive season, and retire w/ dignity. I guess a piece of my childhood died when I heard this news. His Florida years got me into college football permanently. Good luck & God bless you, Tim. 😇 1 1 1

However, this was never going to be a success, which is why I didn’t understand the purpose, and I’m good with this Tebow as an NFL player experiment being over. I wanted Tebow to succeed as a QB the first time around, but this TE experiment was never logical.

LeGOATski Posted August 18, 2021 Posted August 18, 2021 There are so many religious players in the NFL who do great things for their community. People don't have a problem with Tebow just because he's religious. It's the way he goes about it. Gloating and seeking the spotlight. Gotta give him credit for promoting his brand so well, but that's all it is. And people have gotten hooked on that brand. Hence the awesome jersey sales ^^^. 2

He has an unfortunate habit of associating with groups with similar views. Louie Giglio was canceled when a speech he gave in the 90's accused activists of "normalizing" the gay lifestyle. As of 2021, he's was dead-on accurate with that prediction. (FYI, Obama invited him to make a speech before the controversy). What I can find is that all Christian beliefs point to homosexuality as a sin. So Tebow is guilty of associating with other Christians. edit. addendum: People don't hate him because he's Christian, they hate him for practicing it out in the open.

Why shouldn't my lifestyle be "normalized"? Giglio is a homophobe and a pretty nasty one at that. I get it, Christianity teaches I am a sinner, but when people in the 21st century want to espouse homophobic views I am not going to sit and listen to them and just say "oh well that's just their religion." I'm going to call it out. And Tim Tebow, while to the best of my knowledge has never personally expressed homophobic views publicly, has an unfortunate history of associating with folks who do and who support things like conversion therapy. As a non-heterosexual atheist does that offend me? Yes it does. Do I hate Tim Tebow? No. Do I respect him? Also no. 1 1 3
Gugny Posted August 18, 2021 Posted August 18, 2021 15 hours ago, Boxcar said: What's different about Tebow? Star college QB -> poor NFL starter who had a magical run -> left football to try to make it in baseball and started at the very bottom. Advanced to AA? Ultimately didn't make it. -> tries to return to the NFL as Taysom Hill on the wrong side of 30. Please tell me where you've seen this before, because I haven't. He never advanced anywhere in baseball. He was a hired freak show to generate interest. It never had anything to do with baseball. Not to Tebow and not to the Mets organization. He was Michael Jordan-bad. Just like this "return to the NFL." He and daddy Urban both knew he wasn't going anywhere. But it made headlines and generated interest in the team. Attention w.hore. 2

If he was more low profile, he might still be latched on some team as a cool dual purpose backup QB/package player like Jason Hill/Seneca Wallace. Teams just didn't wanna deal w/ the "Tebow-mania" headache which I understand. He's a victim of his own legend. That Denver run was truly magical, though and no one can take that away from him. 1 1

A person can't be "cancelled" as far as I know, unless he/she is dead It's a woke term. Part of "Cancel Culture". It's when activists target a person until everything they do gets canceled; speeches, appearances, tv shows, jobs, etc... It's different than a protest, in that they pressure the employer/venue.
