Tim Tebow's John 3:16 Eye Black Causes an Unholy Controversy

Tim Tebow's John 3:16 Eye Black Causes an Unholy Controversy

Many view Florida quarterback Tim Tebow as God, but apparently he doesn’t share that view. The son of missionaries and a devout Christian, Tebow often looks for ways to spread his faith. The most recent way was at the BCS championship game, where he wrote “John 3:16” on his eye black.

 


This is Tim Tebow's orphanage. Yes, Tim Tebow has his own orphanage.


John 3:16 is of course probably the one bible verse you know if you even went to half an hour of Sunday school growing up:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Many fans are crying foul, saying that religion and sports shouldn’t mix. Others say they really couldn’t care less, it’s eye black. If he changed the name on his jersey to “Salvation” or something, that might be a bigger deal, but this isn’t the XFL, so I don’t think that should be a problem.


Does seeing Tebow’s evangelical eye-black bother you after seeing in on TV for thirty seconds?
