Picture of Tim Tebow at a news conference.                                                                                                                                                                                                    Tebow’s unembarrassed publicity of his Christianity has earned him derision and even hatred. 

Men’s magazine GQ was the latest to take a shot at “Gang-Green’s” backup quarterback, with a September cover story titled “Have You Accepted Tim Tebow as Your QB and Sunday Savior?” GQ, without Tebow’s knowledge, also used an altered picture of Tebow from his college days with his arms in a cross shape – sparking yet another quarterback controversy. 

 

Others have charged Tebow with hypocrisy, as when radio host Craig Carton accused Tebow of being a “fraud” who “clearly thinks he is Jesus” on his Aug. 14 show. Or attacks can simply devolve into vile displays of bigotry, as when CBSChicago.com sportswriter Dan Bernstein called Tebow “little more than an affable simpleton” and his followers “lunatic-fringe cultists” and “batspit crazy fanatics.”
