TheOldRoman Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Take it up with them, then. For my own part, I'm equal-opportunity. As I said, I don't care why people hate gays, only that they do and have to be stopped from cementing their bigotry into law.Which, sadly, leads us back to Tebow and his cronies.Nope. No it doesn't. The whole "he did a commercial with a group I believe to be bigoted on another issue, so that makes him a bigot even though he has never spoken on the issue" is extremely faulty logic. But you keep whacking at that mole. Maybe you'll hit it someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njmeadowlanders Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 To clear up any confusion, Tebow('s agents) issued a cease and desist because they were advertising the shirts as "Tim Tebow NY Jets Christian Shirt" or something like that. They'll probably just change the name and keep selling them. I think it's weird that anyone would want this shirt, though. "My Jesus?" Didn't realize Depeche Mode had such a strong following in the NFL fan community.To get this back on topic:This is why there was action taken by Tebow's counsel. Because they were promoting it using his name. Has zero to do with religion and everything with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAD! Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 But still, so what? We should ignore bigotry by Americans just because there are worse bigots elsewhere? Europe has pockets of virulent anti-Semitism, but that doesn't mean we should excuse our local anti-Semites.We do it every day here in the CCSLC when illwauk is allowed to mock Christianity and loogodude mocks Christianity and Judiasm nearly every time they get the opportunity and only the people that call them out take crap for it. Point of Order though, I think Dead's assesment is the most correct one.I admit I wanted to do some religious bashing myself ..... and so here goes: I do get REALLY annoyed by some these religious groups (mainly Christian, but I've seen some Jewish and Muslim) who take imagery from pop culture like logos from sports teams and movies into clothing about "Jesus Saves" and all that. That's why I think the NFL and the Jets should at least look into questioning the marketers using the logo. hmmm... I think maybe that's why I loved the way the WWF/E promoted Austin 3:16.

TheOldRoman Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 It's a girl, but a girl who wears pounds of makeup and may have had surgical enhancements.Upon further inspection, though, I'd say the girl on the left is more likely to have implants. The girl on the right is, uhh, hanging lower, even though she is sluttily arching her back to shove them upwards. I'm guessing those are some natural hangers.

Gothamite Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Demonstrably false. Even if we weren't seeing it in our politics, Tebow himself is ample proof that neither side is immune.
