As a life-long Gator fan, I’ve been on the Tebow train since he was a freshman at Florida – before the eyeblack scripture and, really, before I heard anything about his faith. As he lead the mighty Gators with his arm and his legs and we learned more about his steadfast convictions, we knew that we had someone special on our hands in GatorNation both on and off the field. But I don’t think any of us envisioned just how big of a cultural, or, really counter-cultural, icon he would become.

While Tebow-mania, both pro and con, really exploded nation-wide after he and his mom starred in an for Focus on the Family that aired during the Super Bowl last year, it has reached a fever-pitch in the past few weeks since he has taken over starting quarterback duties for the Denver Broncos and, despite predictions of his inevitable failure to perform as a QB in the National Football League, has been enjoying a lot of success. Whether they’re criticizing his throwing motion, praising his Christian witness or just trying to explain his ability to win and the TDS (Tebow Derangement Syndrome) that infects his critics, it seems nearly everyone is talking about Tebow these days.

And I mean everyone. Even non-football fans like “Sophia”, a writer for the Abortion Gang blog who, conflicted by her desire to see Tebow win and her radical pro-abortion views, is urging readers to support Tebow by donating to pro-abortion groups. In all my years of being a Tebow fan I really thought I had read every ridiculous thing that could possibly be written in relation to him, but this one takes the cake:

Even I, the anti-Tebow, anti-Bronco fan, basketball-loving woman that I am, have been rooting for him. Yeah, he’s that damn good. But it always feels a bit, well, wrong. How can I support a guy that’s openly anti-choice? This is the same man that used the Super Bowl to a) build his reputation and brand as the saintliest saint of an athlete that ever lived, and b) raise money for an anti-choice organization that would deny the right to abortion to millions of women that need it. Yuck.

So here is my solution, and if you’re a sports fan that also thinks women should be able to do what they want, when they want, and how they want it with their uteri, you can join in this too. For every touchdown Tebow throws next week (when the Broncos play against another famous QB, Tom Brady) , donate $5 or $10 to your local pro-choice organization. If the Broncos make the playoffs (I haven’t checked if that’s even a possibility at this point), I plan to continue the pledge.

I’m used to seeing Tebow’s name/image used to get attention and make money, but this is a new low. Well, at least she’s only encouraging donations for every time he throws a touchdown. Here’s hoping the Pat’s run defense is off its game so the Broncs can score on the ground – and maybe with a few amazing 50+ yd. field goals (that Prater is a beast!).
