Crying Shame

Tebow Criticized for crying
When the Florida Gators lost the SEC championship to the Alabama Crimson Tide Saturday, Tim Tebow, cried on the sidelines. Since then , Tewbows critics, especially Alabama fans have criticized him for this, saying things like “Tim Tebow for CRIESman” and “Alabama: 32:13,” referring to the bible verses Tebow writes on his eye black during his games. Let me ask one thing; ARE YOU KIDDING ME? How, how in the world can you criticize Tebow for simply showing some emotion for his team? He wasn’t simply crying for himself, but for his team. Tebow, being in my opinion the greatest college football player ever, didn’t lose a lot. He was crying because he felt like he had let down the team. He felt like it was his sole responsibility that the Florida seniors did not have a chance for another national title, which it clearly was not. After the storied career this man has had at his institution, he has every right in the world to cry. He has one game left with the gators and coach Meyer after being with them for four straight years. Tebow loved Florida, he loved his team mates, he loved the fans, but most of all he loved the game, he loved with a more fiery passion than the world has ever seen. His four years at Florida, Tebow showed nothing but class, but as is with any person under the scrutiny of media, he got criticized, I can honestly say that he did not deserve one single word of criticism. Some went as far as to say he was “Too good” that spending his vacations with prisoners and poor foreign people was all an act, I don’t buy that. In a sports world covered with corruption, where some of the greatest athletes are squandering the opportunities given to them, Tim Tebow is a light in the darkness. I believe that Tim Tebow cherishes every blessing bestowed upon him, and uses that blessing to help other people. That is why Tim Tebow is my hero. No, not because of anything he did on the field, he is my hero because of the type of person he is, how he listens to gods plan for him and fulfills it to the best of his abilities, unlike some of our athletes today, who simply think they run the world. Tim Tebow is my hero because through what he has done he has set an example for all people, not just athletes, he has shown that you can accomplish anything, so long as you don’t care who gets the glory. Tim Tebow is my hero, and no, I am not a Florida fan.
