Toon: Sam I am

1. Tebow made himself a mockable spectacle worthy of criticism.

Sam did no such thing.

It's not a double standard. Being a (religious) douchebag is a choice, being gay is not.

2. You don't remember all those tweets from other players, calling his piety horrible and disgusting?

Yeah, neither do I.

4. Exactly. Tebow was (is) a joke begging to be told

He had full control over how he presented himself to the public.

3. I don't remember all those times Sam ran around with a big rainbow flag after a big play

Surely, he must have been doing something to celebrate being homosexual while on the field and rubbing it in everyone's faces.

5. Don't recall a move to ban Christians from football.

I think there was some piling on of Tebow, who seems like a sincere enough guy, but it's a tough sell to say there was actual anti-Christian hatred aimed his way, nevermind at the level of, say, a movement to ban his cultural group from football.

And of course, Tebow didn't have to weigh whether he could safely admit to being a Christian and still even try to play professional sports.


Edit: Rec for posting the cartoon though. Worthy of discussion.

6. What would the say ...

if they knew Jesus was gay?
