I never hated Tebow, but I hated the team he played for, and the media love fest. It was truly disgusting.
So, when he cried like Nancy Kerrigan during that last SEC championship game, I relentlessly made fun of him, just like everyone else.

Why was Manziel so hated. I get why teasips and Sooners hated him but everyone else? It doesn't make sense.
1. Hes a douchnozzle
2. ESPN wouldn't shut up about him going out
3. Hes obnoxious
4. He said "I'm just a 20 year old college kid" after he won the Heisman
5. Hes an idiot

The documentary would be better if it was: "I love Tim Tebow"
Nobody loved Tim Tebow in the NFL. The only team who did was Denver and that was for one year because they had nobody else to play qb. Tim was like duck tape on a hole on a boat in Denver. All of the Bronco fans were happy to see him go especially when Peyton joined the team. Do you think the Jets loved him? No. One team for one year loved Tebow. That is it.

That is absurdly false.
He had a shocking large and loud group of supporters by any standard but especially by the standard of a guy who struggled to perform the basic throwing components of his job at the quarterback position.
Elway was worried the overwhelming fan support was going to make it hard for him to replace TT with a competent player until Manning fell into his lap. That was an absolute godsend - replacing a popular but lousy quarterback was a big issue for him.

This is false. It was the other way around. Churches and christian loved him. National media gave him heat.

You cherry picked a comment. I said Denver loved him and the rest hated him. That is correct. The same way Duke loved Lattiner and nobody else did.

Certainly he was massively popular in Denver and Florida but he's also been adopted as a persecuted victim of religious discrimination by people all over the country such as yourself. To me, that's a giant pile of crap. The recoil to his popularity and overexposure was a little bit the goody two shoes act, a little bit his success in Florida, a little bit anti SEC (we're sick of them being talked about all the time), and a lot bit of him becoming a giant radio talk show and message board topic that would just never go away.

Tebow was the persecuted by some of the media for his beliefs.CNN and the NY times basically told him to shut up about the religion. I remember Kurt Warner (NFL analysis) told him to shut up about it too.
I admired that Tebow was a christian athlete but that is it. I pulled against UF and do not care about Denver. The same way I admire Russell Wilson as a Chrisitian and person but I hope Seattle loses every game b/c I don't like them.

No one hated Tebow for being a Christian or even for being Tebow. We hated that the media wouldn't shut the frick up about how perfect he was. It was their fascination with his faith that caused the backlash against him. It wasn't actually anything he did to cause it. IOW, people got sick of the media acting like Tebow was a living saint just for having a faith and acting like half the kids we went to school with who no one made a big deal over.
Now that Tebow is just doing his thing on TV without the media gushing over him as the literal Messiah come to save us all, he's a lot more likeable.

A bunch of posters in this thread never spent 5 minutes with Tebow.

Tebow would've fit right in with about 90 percent of my HS graduating class. In fact, he would've been outdone by a guy I've known my entire life who used to bring his bible to every class in HS and read it (he was already preaching at his church years earlier).

Oh yes. Just look how brutal the NY Times was to Tebow
That’s a question that actually hovers over the miraculous success of the Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, and at this blessed juncture it’s a silly one, because the answer is unequivocal: Yes. Tebow is powered by conviction and operating on faith, and so are the teammates he’s leading. And you needn’t be an evangelical Christian (as he is), a seriously religious person or even a football fan to be transfixed and enlightened by his example. I speak as a football fan only when I say the following, which I never expected to: The mile-high messiah has a gospel for us all.
