Tim Tebow
Timothy Richard Tebow, known as Tim Tebow (born August 14, 1987), is an American football player who first gained fame while playing for the Florida Gators. He is the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy and led the Gators to two BCS Championships during his four years playing for the University of Florida at Gainesville. He was selected by the Denver Broncos as the 25th pick of the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
Tebow was homeschooled until college. He is an outspoken pro-lifer, and his mother had been told to have an abortion rather than to give birth to him. Risking retaliation against his career by pro-aborts and the liberal media, Tebow appeared in a pro-life television ad that aired during the 2010 Super Bowl.[1]
Tebow gives frequent interviews to the liberal media and often leaves them speechless. He replied to a question at one press conference by saying he would practice abstinence until he married. Tebow volunteers on mission trips, one of which in the summer of 2008 to the Philippines was chronicled in an issue of the ESPN Magazine.
