Agree or disagree, Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy are religious speakers to the public. Yes, one can argue that using their elevated football positions to give insight on a way of religion is wrong; however, it is working! Both young men have reasons behind what they are doing and why they want to do it. Tebow not only has faith in the scriptures that he writes on his eye blacks during a game, but uses the Bible verses to reach out to the public. Tebow’s bible verses have been a hotly searched item and Google search engine was there to prove it (AC Sports). Colt McCoy’s post-game interview, where he stated that “he always gives God the glory and never questions why things happen,” has view searches reaching over 500,000. Not everyone is going to be pleased with decisions made by people in this world, but through the freedom of speech and rights that we have in our country, these men are using their power to speak out to society. Both Tebow and McCoy have the right to publicly share their views; this is extremely important to them.
Whether it is broadcasting a Bible verse on the eye blacks during a football game to thousands of fans, or being active in religious movements in society, Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy are two men who are greater than just football stars. Their intentions are to make a difference in the world by using their sport to spread the word of God even further. Tebow’s trips to the Philippines, missionary acts and religious speeches give him far more glory than a touchdown in a game. McCoy’s internet videos and religious movements are what he uses to let others know that God is good. Does everyone agree with these young men’s views? The answer is simply, no. Is everyone willing to accept that these men dream of doing in society? The answer is still, no. However, the star players from both football teams stand out in a way unlike anyone has ever seen in society and both have the courage to try and spread their religious principles. Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy are more than just outstanding football players.
