Tim "Touchdown Jesus" Tebow has become a folk hero or a love-him-or-loathe-him polarizing figure, particularly after leading the Denver Broncos to an overtime victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round of the NFL playoffs, racking up 316 - yes, 316 as in John 3:16 - passing yards to boot.While "Tebowing" may not become a popular gesture in Patria's sports leagues (though it is not unheard of to see a player do a pranam or "namasté" goal celebration in the All-Patria Football Federation), Tim Tebow is actually a role model for Patria's youth, who was recommended as such in the 2010 Inaugural Address, in contrast to the Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger:
"Our children must be taught the value of abstinence before marriage and fidelity within marriage, not only as a highly effective means of birth control and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, but as the only effective means of preventing a lifetime of public shame, embarrassment, humiliation and ridicule. If our children need role models from the world of American professional sports, they would do well to emulate Tim Tebow and A.C. Green rather than Ben Roethlisberger and Tiger Woods.
Patria must be made a safe place for social conservatives..."
If Tebow, who likely has never uttered a four-letter word other than "gosh" and who proudly proclaims himself a virgin, isn't a social conservative, who is?
