Bill Maher Bashes Tim Tebow on Twitter: Fan’s Opinion.
While most of us were spending time with our families during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Bill Maher was busy hate - tweeting against Tim Tebow, and what Maher tweeted about Tebow was completely inappropriate.
After the Denver Broncos were manhandled 40-14 by the Buffalo Bills on Christmas Eve, Maher tweeted, "Wow, Jesus just f**ked #TimTebow bad! And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere … Satan is tebowing, saying to Hitler "Hey, Buffalo's killing them." Tebow didn't exactly have the best game of his career on Saturday against the Bills, completing only 13 of 30 passes for 185 yards along with four interceptions. Tebow tweeted after the game, "Tough game today but what's most important is being able to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas everyone GB2."
In case you don't know who Bill Maher is, you're not missing much. Maher is the host of a show on HBO "Real Time with Bill Maher" which is a show that reviews current events in politics and the media with guest panelists. In other words, nothing too special. Personally, if you're into comedy and politics, you would be much better off checking out The Daily Show with Jon Stewart or the Colbert Report. Besides laughing at his own jokes, Maher is also an atheist, and has taken aim at Tebow a few times over the course of his career, even when Tebow was in college at Florida when Maher made fun of Tebow for putting bible verses on his eye black, which I always found ironic considering Maher is one of the least athletic people I have seen.
People now are calling for a boycott of HBO which will begin to air new episodes of Maher's show in mid - January. With his show coming up one can't but help to wonder if Maher's tweet was just a lame publicity stunt to remind people that he still exists.
The media has certainly created a buzz over Tebow since he took over as starting quarterback of the Denver Broncos and has them one game away from making the playoffs. Skip Bayless of ESPN's First Take is the anti - Maher in that he is almost obsessed with Tim Tebow.
Whether you like Tim Tebow or not, the fact that he stays true to himself and his beliefs is commendable. The charity work he does for his foundation speaks volumes of the man he is. Whether you feel he has the ability to be a good quarterback in the NFL or not, he is certainly a good role model. Personally, I hope he just keeps being himself.
