Tim Tebow is still a free agent looking for a new NFL job and while he is having a hard time finding one, the media and everyone else has written about what moves he should make next, whether it be the Canadian, Arena or Indoor football leagues, and one player spoke about the quarterback in less glowing terms, bashing his faith and his beliefs.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, Philadelphia Eagles guard Evan Mathis took a swipe at Tebow's decision to be a virgin on Twitter, writing a message directed at Tebow's Twitter account after linking a picture that read, 'Don't die a virgin, terrorists are up there waiting for you'. Along with the picture he wrote that he was thinking of Tebow and clearly Mathis thought he was very clever at what he wrote. Mathis has been very smart and intelligent on Twitter in recent weeks, making a political statement by pissing on an IRS sign.
Tebow on the other hand Tweeted about other things, like sending his support and prayers to the victims of the Oklahoma tornado disasters. Mathis also later tweeted a picture of a response he got back after posting about Tebow from a crazy person, which said multiple conspiracy theories and things about Christians, including that Christian fans will leave with Tebow if he doesn't get an NFL job. The post went at Mathis for being from Alabama and railed against people "degrading" Tebow for his beliefs and also that "Tebow haters" are the ones that killed JFK for Vietnam profits as well as nuclear weapons "for Israel" and about "wasting America's tax dollars."
Tebow is currently without an NFL team after being released by the New York Jets and while the team acquired him last year with great fanfare, they treated him badly and never gave him a chance to succeed. Tebow was great as a starter with the Broncos despite not having the conventional throwing motion and mechanics, leading the team to the playoffs and a postseason victory with the Steelers. While Tebow has yet to have a job in the NFL, he fits with a number of teams, including the Detroit Lions, Chargers, Bears and Browns as well as the Raiders. He also fits with the Jacksonville Jaguars and the fans want him, as they took out ads, websites and even petitioned the president to intervene.
The photo he originally posted said: "Don't die a virgin. Terrorists are up there waiting for you." He tweeted the photo with the message: "<3 @TimTebow, Thinking about you big guy."
