I think he's a tool (but, I would) and I don't just hate him.
I'm fine with the mocking of his super-religiousness re a football move, though he's not alone in the shows.
I'll be willing to bet some of the non demonstrative have faith of their own. And that they don't take god's glance re if they win the game or not. Or maybe they do.
Maybe I'm wrong and the NFL re behavior allowance is all about prayer?
I just read a lot of you-dumped-on-the-lord-by-mocking-tebow emails to sports sites. Scary. Mocking re knee moves and football moves tended to overlap.
Meantime, I figure this stuff goes on in the locker room a lot of the time - or are all athletes programmed?
I think ANY gesture that takes way from the game ought to be handled by the coach, in terms of appropriateness.
The end zone antics of many players get downright stupid. I've seen dancing, prancing, butt-bumping, phone calls, discussions with fans, kneeling down in prayer, etc. etc.
If I were a coach, I would stop it all.
