stop this,” Sharpe demanded. “Here’s a guy who is going
to try every sport until he finds something he’s good at. How about
he’s not good at anything.” |
Oddly,
I just yesterday watched, on ESPN's "30-30" series, the saga of
Michael Jordan quitting the NBA so he could play baseball.
A paean to
his murdered father, who always thought he should have played in the
major leagues. Abruptly quiting the Chicago Bulls, who were about
to
attempt a fourth straight NBA championship, he stunned the sporting
world. In response, and taking Sports Illustrated's lead, the
press
condemned him, claiming he was taking a roster spot in the White Sox
minor league system from someone who deserved it, and other such
nonsense.
Now, in his case, the sporting world considered, and still does, Jordan
to be the greatest NBA player of all time. The NBA were
devastated.
In Tebow's case, the Shannon Sharps of the sporting world despised him
from day one, arguing that the Heisman Trophy winner was a fluke, and
ought not even be drafted. Huh? It was clear that what bothered
them
was Tebow's open respect for his Christianity. That he publicly
thanked God for his talent and success was anathema to the largely
political left ESPN machine that's succeeded Sports Illustrated as the
arbiter of all things in the sporting world.
On the bright side, ESPN's blatant political attacks on Trump have led
to a massive fall in viewer ship, and are they are hemorrhaging
viewers. Thank you God. My advice to Shannon Sharp is, don't make
any
new financial commitments.
You can watch "Jordan ride the bus"

I'm a Sooner, still hurts to say, he was one hell of a player. Got his ass blackballed for an abortion commercial, but still went on to give Denver a playoff they didn't have a chance of being in. Professional sports are evil now. Tim got his, Tom read his book, and broke it off in their ass. Tim didn't have a Belichic. -Anymouse
ReplyDeleteMy late son coached Robbie Tebow in high school in Jacksonville, FL. The talk was always about his little brother who was thought to be the best baseball player in town. That little brother was Tim and he was thirteen. Despite what Sharpe says, Tebow can play baseball. He's not searching for a sport to play. Let the kid have fun while he can.
