However Wetzel is bugged by how Tim Tebow's faith has been made so public. Read some of it below.
Tebow’s heart gets a lot of hype – too much for some. The television announcers are often over the top in their praise and the stories of Tebow’s off-field heroics as a devout Christian can be fatiguing.
It’s a strange phenomenon of the modern media. Fans can find themselves rooting against a good guy just because they keep being reminded of how good he is. A little fallibility can go a long way.
(I am happy Wetzel acknowledges the football greatness of Tim Tebow. However what matters more is who Wetzel is not what he does.
My guess is Wetzel doesn't mind those who keep their faith inside of church and private. But he does have problems with people like Tebow, and myself who do make their faith public. We hear so much about young people and those in the sports world who have done things like drugs and crime. Wetzel should be very pleased that Tebow acts the way he does.)
