KISS singer Gene Simmons: If Tim Tebow were a Muslim woman, nobody would make fun of him

[trumad]

Simmons should stick to sticking out his tongue with his crappy band because he really has no idea what he is talking about.

Does Tim Tebow really need rock icon Gene Simmons coming to his defense and starting a religious war of words in the process?

Probably not, but it doesn't matter when it comes to Tebow. He is in the news even when he's not really newsworthy.

Case in point Gene Simmons, front man for the legendary rock and roll band KISS, which just purchased an Arena Football League team in Los Angeles and has offered Tebow a three-year guaranteed contract.

Simmons, during an interview with radio.com, inflamed Tebow's cult-like following by vehemently defending the strong religious beliefs of the former Florida Gators star.

“He’s got a religious passion, as well he should, we’re in America," Simmons said. "He’s proud to be a Christian, what’s wrong with that? And yet, with sports media and pop culture media, they make fun of his religion. Really? In America? If he was wearing a burqa, they wouldn’t dare say anything. But if you’re a Christian, you get to be picked on? What the hell? The guy’s got family values. I never saw the media picking on Michael Vick for torturing dogs. Or this other football player, who’s alleged to have killed, committed murder. That’s ‘cool.’ But a guy who’s religious and has got family values isn’t ‘cool?’ He’s cool to me.”

1. Gene hits & misses here

Tebow is on fact mocked quite a bit. And not just for his subpar QB skills. However, I don't see his point with Vick or Hernandez. Both catch a ton of shit. And rightly so. One abused dogs & another murdered someone. Allegedly.

When it comes down to it, there is no comparison of the 3. Tebow has done nothing wrong. I suspect even his biggest detractors would rather have him watch their kid/dog over Vick & Hernandez.

2. Well, that's horseshit.

If Tebow were Muslim and rolled out the prayer rug after each TD, he'd catch a a level of crap that would be completely unprecedented. No one cares whether Tebow or any other player is a Christian. It's having it thrown in your face all the time that's annoying. I'm watching a football game, not a church service, so save it for the congregation.

And thanking God for anything having to do with sports is poor theology. To wit:

Man goes to a boxing match, and finds himself sitting beside a priest. One of the boxers kneels in his corner and genuflects. The man turns to the priest and says, "Is that going to help him?" The priest says, "Not if he's not a good boxer."

4. Great post

14. Exactly, Tebow gets shit for the same reason Ray Lewis got shit for talking about god

every time he opens his mouth...

Oh wait, Ray Lewis didn't get shit for bringing up his religion every time he talked. Nevermind then.

3. Gene Simmons is an idiot.

[TBF]

7. +1 - Tebow is the less revolting of the 4

if we are talking Hernandez, Vick and Simmons -

but I wouldn't want any of these fools near my kids or animals.

5. This is as far as I needed to read.

"...the legendary rock and roll band KISS, which just purchased an Arena Football League team in Los Angeles and has offered Tebow a three-year guaranteed contract."

6. False fucking equivalency. A real comparison would be if Tebow were a Muslim man and pulled

they same sort of shenanigans, how would the teabagger talivangelists deal with them.

Fuck Simmons and all the other sanctimonious teabagging sacks of shit.

8. You know where I first saw that stupid story? Yup, on Drudge.

So how's your buddy Rush doing?

[trumad]

12. Quit reading Drudge...I found it on Sports Illustrated

Can't believe you troll Drudge.

By the way--- Tebow was the first round pick of what team?

[KamaAina]

9. If Tim Tebow were a Muslim woman...

...his passing motion would still resemble that of a moose trying to, er, make love with a washing machine.

[KamaAina]

10. Worst. Idea. Ever.

Much like the CFL, Arena teams chuck it up on every down. The LA* (*-Anaheim) KISS will just be roadkill for the San Jose Sabercats.

Srsly? He never saw the media picking on Sick Vick? But did see Hernandez called "cool"?

Sorry, Gene. You just have no standing whatsoever. Your lengthy track record of hate and small mindedness totally disqualifies you. Get thee back to the Hellacious Cesspool you crawled out of.

More dribble coming out of his cesspool of a mouth.
