Tim Tebow cancels appearance at controversial Dallas church

"While I was looking forward to sharing a message of hope and Christ's unconditional love with the faithful members of the historic First Baptist Church of Dallas in April, due to new information that has been brought to my attention, I have decided to cancel my upcoming appearance. I will continue to use the platform God has blessed me with to bring Faith, Hope and Love to all those needing a brighter day. Thank you for all of your love and support. God Bless!"

Tebow is presumably an adult and I know that this story got national attention on sports talk radio, although not on the Tebow ass kissing network aka ESPN. So if he did not know about the "pastors" hatred of gays, etc. then Tebow really is not terribly bright or leads a really sheltered life.
Too little, too late imo.

He should not be so fake and tell everyone what the "new information that has been brought to my attention" is.
