I mean, I liked everything about it.
I liked the guts it took, and the insight it required, to ask that question of that athlete. He's not just an athlete. He's the most famous Christian athlete in the country, and he's walking on a campus -- I went there -- teeming with temptation. Are you saving yourself for marriage? is the wrong question to ask every athlete but one in college football. But it's the right question to ask Tebow. He's The One.
I like the poise Tebow showed in answering it, and in making fun of the media for being so uncomfortable with the moment.
I liked the passion Dennis Dodd showed in his takedown of the questioner, Clay Travis. Dodd can write, friends. He can really write.
I liked the debate it has stirred up around the country. Was the question fair? Was Tebow even telling the truth? Lots of interesting points to banter about.
Liked it. All of it. Not sure I'd have asked it, but only because of my own weaknesses. However, if it had occurred to me, and I was there, sure. I'd have asked.
Tebow was asked about sex ... and I liked it

Tebow was asked about sex ... and I liked itI can see both sides of the story. Tebow wears his beliefs on his sleeve, so to speak, and from that perspective I can see why he had no issues answering the question. That said, just because he is a devout Chrisitan (outwardly so) doesn't mean his sexual life should become public fodder. |

Tebow was asked about sex ... and I liked itI agree with Dodd... the question was out of bounds. Just because Tebow is a professed Christian doesn't mean his sex life is open game. Would it be fair to ask college athletes of other religions if they're virgins? And where does it lead? Does the media ask non-virgins how old they were when they lost it? What their favorite sexual positions are? How college bisexuals vary their oral sex technique depending on their partner's gender? Where is the line here?
I'll tell you... the line was back behind Clay Travis. He crossed it, disgustingly so. And I'm shocked that Mr. Doyel, who was so indignant about the invasion of Erin Andrews' privacy, would support Tebow being asked this question. Sure, he could have refused to answer it, but then the story would have been all about how he refused to answer it. You come across to me as very hypocritical, Mr. Doyel. |

Tebow was asked about sex ... and I liked itFor 99.9 percent of the athletes, sure it is -- an invasion of privacy, I mean. But for Tebow, who wears his devoutness on his EYEBLACK? Nope. He opens the door to that side of his world. The questioner just walked into the door.
