As my title states, I'm not a Gator fan. I'm not a Tim Tebow-ite either. He's not the first, nor will he be the last, successful Christian in a public spotlight. Admiring someone because they're famous! and a Christian! Is still just admiring someone because they're famous. (I know I am opening myself up for criticism here. I am prepared to deal with it.)
BUT! If anything was going to make me a Gator fan, and has made me gain more respect for Tim Tebow as a person, it is the vitriolic, hate-filled attacks he has been the victim of because of his upcoming Super Bowl ad. If you haven't heard of this, you probably don't have electricity in your house and can't read my blog anyway, but the ad is going to recount his mother's tale of being pregnant with him and falling ill, and the doctors recommending that she abort her baby, and she didn't, and she had Tim Tebow. So-called "women's groups" are up in arms about how this ad is dangerous and will set women's rights back to the stone age and whathaveyou. I say, if they're that ticked, hurray for Tebow! I never thought I'd say this about a Gator, but God bless you, and I will be watching for your commercial.

As a huge Gator fan, I have to disagree about Tim Tebow, I think he is absolutely amazing<3 I'm sad he isn't playing for UF any more.
