I think there was some piling on of Tebow, who seems like a sincere enough guy, but it's a tough sell to say there was actual anti-Christian hatred aimed his way, nevermind at the level of, say, a movement to ban his cultural group from football.

And of course, Tebow didn't have to weigh whether he could safely admit to being a Christian and still even try to play professional sports.

Edit: Rec for posting the cartoon though. Worthy of discussion.
