CBS Columnist ripped after accusing Tim Tebow(QB-Broncos) of 'blasphemy'

A national sports columnist says his hate mail has been "going nuts" since writing a column accusing quarterback Tim Tebow of "blasphemy" for believing his faith will help him succeed in the NFL.

-----

Gregg Doyel of CBSSports.com tweeted yesterday that readers and tweeters have been ripping him since questioning Tebow's comments to the Denver Post that he's "relying as always on my faith" as he competes for the starting QB job with the Denver Broncos.

"Its like someone spilled Pat Robertson all over my inbox," Doyel tweeted.

-----

Tebow has been a great billboard for Christianity -- just as Muhammad Ali has been a great billboard for Islam, and Sandy Koufax a great billboard for Judaism -- but that doesn't mean he will be rewarded with a starting job in the NFL. Maybe deep inside his heart Tebow knows that, but from the outside it doesn't look that way. From the outside it looks like Tebow equates his love for God in heaven with tangible rewards here on earth. And that's more than wrong. It's blasphemy.

I personally hate all these "believers" spouting that God has an interest in who wins a professional game or championship or a political office for that matter! I say right on Doyel!
