Sports Holy Shoot: Great Christian Conservative Moments in Sports
The only thing Tim Tebow wants aborted is a bad play call!
Sports fans love to argue about the pro prospects of University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, but the outspoken Christian conservative is about to stir up even more passionate debate with a pro-life ad that will run during the Super Bowl. In the controversial spot paid for by conservative Christian group Focus on the Family, Tebow and his family argue that wonderful things can happen if you don’t have an abortion. You see, when Tebow was just a fetus, doctors tried to convince his mom to abort him because medicines she was taking to combat the amoebic dysentery she’d contracted on a missionary trip in the Philippines were potentially going to damage him. She kept her baby, and now he’s considered by some to be the greatest college football player of all time. Point scored taken. Though the Tebow family isn’t flashing images of aborted fetuses, you know it’s about to get ugly.
Of course, Tebow is far from the first person in sports to force his Christian conservative views upon the world. We’re not talking about athletes praising God for the touchdown totals that helped them get crazy paid either. Keep reading for unforgettable moments when sports tackled religion.
