I am not a football fan, and I pay almost zero attention to the sport, even during the height of the season. Yet even I became aware of the threat to the future of our country posed by one Tim Tebow, an insufferable Christian. He was welcome to all the football success in the world (though even I knew he was overhyped in Colorado), except for the sneaking suspicion I had that he was looking to eventually parlay his football success into a right wing political career.
So I must plead guilty to feeling no small amount of schadenfreude today at the news that Mr. Tebow has been consigned to the ash heap of football history at the tender young age of 25. No doubt he’ll find a career in the tv ministry or something, but I’m hoping that his road to political advancement has been made a good deal rockier by his new status as a total loser. Who knows, maybe he’ll be able to blame his failure on those New York City folks, and get himself elected to the Senate from Alabama or some other stupid state, but we have at least some cause to hope that we’ve heard the last of him.
