The article discusses the debates over whether Tim Tebow is a good quarterback or not and whether his religious views should be openly displayed. I enjoyed the article because there has been so much hype around Tebow since his college days and I have always wondered if he would be successful in the NFL. Personally, I figured he wouldn't do too well because college football is a lot different than the pros. Nonetheless, Tebow has been doing well this season since becoming the starter for Denver. As a Catholic I think he is doing a good job in being truthful about his faith and I feel that there is no problem with him openly displaying his religious views.
It was extremely difficult to see which side of the debates that the author of the article took a side on. This provided the article with a fair discussion of the debates surrounding Tebow and let the reader make a choice based on the information. Due to this lack of bias I think the reader is able to use the evidence within the article to decide whether Tebow should display his religious views and if Tebow is a good NFL quarterback. In most articles that I have read in the past there has been clear bias by the author along with countless hints and suggestions displaying his or her opinion, yet with this article I really couldn't find much that proved the perspective of Greg Bishop, the author. This strategy was useful for the subject being discussed and caused the article to be both long and enjoyable.
Did you see Tosh.O's segment on the Tebow?
