Oh hey, it’s Tim Tebow’s second national television commercial. His first one, for last year’s Super Bowl, went like this and was all about the great things that happen when you don’t abort babies. His second one, for Jockey, has much less to do with sex — because Tebow, the good Christian, doesn’t want to be seen parading around in his underthings. So it’s just the white tee.
He’s an idot. Thinking he’s going to do an underwear commercial but doesn’t want gay people to look at his junk. Clearly if he feels that strongly he chose the wrong sponsor. He shoudl be out hawking cars or sprots drinks instead. I hate how he feels about gay people, but that is is right to think that way. Just don’t be a dolt and think you can some how exclude a segement from looking at somehting you are shoving in their faces! Shame on jockey too. Not that it’s a big brand with gay men, but it’s dumb and will age their company. They’ll become the “straight mans” underwear, and in 10 years they will be antiquate and completly irrelevant because of that image.

Hmmm, so a person with no record of ever making a homophobic statement is tarred and feathered by a paranoid few; can you say prejudice? Why is this site reporting on whether or not a football player is doing advertisements for underwear? What’s gay about that?

Yeah, there isn’t any gay storyline here. With that said, a lot of people look up to Tim as an All-American Christian conservative white jock athlete, when his views on particular things are, shall we say, maybe not ideal. With that said, he’s said nothing about homosexuality and basically given every indication he simply doesn’t care about the subject, so I’m not going to automatically detest him as being anti-gay unless and until he is officially exposed as homophobic.

I’m a Bama fan and I’d be the first one to criticize Tim Tebow, but this article puts words in his mouth that he never said. Granted, I don’t think it’d be a stretch that he’d think that way, but until he opens his mouth about it, this is highly presumptuous and — dare I say it (ROLL TIDE!) — unfair to Tebow.

While I’ve seen his preachy anti-abortion stuff….this man has never preached about gays going to hell or just being wrong in general – like so many others have. If you want to say he’s a preachy christian and butting his nose in on a womans right to do to her body as she please……fine but you can’t label him a homophobe when he hasn’t said word one on it. It makes us all sound heterophobic.

Are any of you queens familiar with ‘Focus on the Family’? They are one of the most rabidly anti-gay groups out there. The fact that he is working on their behalf is reason enough to believe that Tebow is no friend of ours, regardless of what he has or hasn’t said.

Um, guys, you realize he’s gay, right?
I never gave it two thoughts until a couple of years ago when he said the reason why he didn’t date women was because of his morals. It was then I realized he was one of us because nowhere in the Bible does it tell us a man shouldn’t date a woman.
If you do a simple Google search you can find out more. Supposedly he was living with this lover back in G’ville.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist either to figure out if you’re the hottest (ie, most talked about) football player in the world and you do NOT have a girlfriend then there’s a good reason and “morals” is not the reason.

@McMike: Huh? I live in Gainesville and have been a student at UF since 2009, and I have never heard this even as a rumor.
About the anti-gay stuff, his major (http://www.registrar.ufl.edu/c.....amily.html) would make it seem like he has thought about issues like same-sex marriage somewhat. Perhaps gay marriage is more popular than abortion rights, both at UF and most other places, and he is protecting his popularity by advocating only selectively. Or maybe he is a bit conflicted, with his christianity against the research that supports the legitimacy of SSM, so he doesn’t take any side.
Anyway the campus was somewhat dreary during the fall, since he’s been gone, cause the gators kind of suck at football now. We used to be ranked as the #1 party school in the Princeton Review, but have slipped to #7 and are even closing in on FSU (#11) now. UF has lost so much since he left…

I won’t EVER buy Jockey products again.

What the hell made jockey want him to do an ad that isn’t going to get anyone’s attention? Nobody cares about Tebow or anyone else in a plain white tee. Is jockey suddenly trying to appear evangelical friendly by wasting money like this?

@McMike: Correction. He is not gay. He is a self loathing closeted homosexual who outwardly associated with homophobic people and organizations. He and his antics and associations do not get to have our label.

Pathetic.These hypocritical holier then thou people are so goddamn annoying. Another thing is I cant get over how ive noticed there are even some gay americans who have defended this douchebag claiming that hes not homophobic just because he did that focus on the family vid against abortion last year.Ummm 3 things 1 his respect for Chuck Norris notoriously anti gay jerkoff 2 his collaboration with focus on the family to begin with and lastly his constant need to express his faith and his beliefs .Yeah definitely homophobe material and anyone who cant see that has blinders on their eyes sadly.
