PROFOOTBALLTALK.COM has this great story from the Scouting Combine...
As we've mentioned once or twice, quarterback Tim Tebow's habit of openly expressing his religious beliefs could potentially rub folks the wrong way, especially in a locker room of grown men who choose to keep their beliefs to themselves, who don't share his beliefs at all, and/or who only want to hear "God bless" after they have sneezed.
We're told that Tebow already has gotten a taste of the resistance he might face at the next level.
At the Scouting Combine, the Wonderlic exam is administered to players in groups. The 12-minute test is preceded by some brief instructions and comments from the person administering the test.
Per a league source, after the person administering the test to Tebow's group had finished, Tebow made a request that the players bow their heads in prayer before taking the 50-question exam.
Said one of the other players in response: "Shut the f--k up." Others players in the room then laughed.
Now that is some funny shit. Listen, I understand some people have strong feelings about their religion. But don't bring your religion into sports and force it onto others. I always got uncomfortable right before a game when some of my teammates would ask me to join in a prayer. The thoughts that raced through my head go a little like this: "Dude, God doesn't give a shit about you or this team. Let's just play some damn ball!" But then of course I never had the balls to say this out loud because I'm a pussy. But whomever told Tebow to "Shut the fuck up!" deserves a pat on the back or at least a fist bump because they said exactly what all of us wanted to say but just didn't have the courage because of fears of religion persecution.
After all, just because the Bible is the greatest selling fiction book of all-time doesn't mean I'm going to start mapping my sports life around it.
haha, that guy is my fucking hero! I'm like you I just sat there even though I was thinking the same thing.
ReplyDeleteSince they are with patients most of the times, analyzing their condition and health, any influenced decision can be delicate. In a CNS program you will be taught to be a specialist in the practice of neonatal nursing, as well as theory. This could be of big use for families of missing people in the future (Please RSS this hub and feel free to join my reader/fan club above for future articles) Nurse Practitioners must already be a Registered Nurse and attend graduate school. Getting certified to practice in a foreign country, although a bit tedious, is relatively easy.
