Tim Tebow News: Player Courts Controversy by Speaking at Liberty U

Lord only knows what's in Tim Tebow's head and he's not telling. 

The most popular quarterback in the league will take his talents to Virginia tomorrow and speak at the private college, Liberty University as part of their "Convocation" series. According to Liberty's website, "Convocation is North America's largest weekly gathering of Christian students, and each year it plays host to more than 80 guest speakers of national significance from every sphere of society". 

Are you listening, Rex Ryan, Tebow is of national significance. Keeping this guy on the bench is practically un-American. 

The event is closed to the public, so we won't be able to hear his insight on the 3-4 defense or what he thinks about the incoming O-line. Although, the school isn't known for it's football team (or if they have one), they are known for conservative and anti-LBGT stances. Founded by disgraced televangelist Jerry Falwell back in 1971, the university makes clear it's opinions on getting freaky before marriage. 

The school not only bans pre-marital sex, but also "the encouragement or advocacy of any form of sexual behavior that would undermine the Christian identity or faith mission of the University." The university's Vice President has gone a step farther by backing laws making homosexuality a crime in Malawi and has been critical of an alleged "agenda" by LGBT people. 

Tebow recently backed out of speaking at another conservative religious gathering. He was scheduled to speak at the controversial First Baptist church in Dallas, whose leader Pastor Robert Jeffress had made heated comments about Muslims, gays, and Jews. For some reason, Tebow didn't do the research on a pastor who has said such "Christian" teachings as claiming Islam and Mormonisms originate "from the pit of hell" and "you can't be saved being a Jew". 

It remains to be seen whether or not Tebow will try to warm their hearts and speak about being open to all of them or if he'll actually jump on the intolerant bandwagon. It would be nice to see Tebow practicing on his skills on the field, but clearly he has a higher calling. Hopefully, it's one that he'll listen to.
