Tebow column ‘pathetic’

(This letter is in response to Tuesday’s column, “Tim Tebow inspires confidence in sport.”)

I take issue most with Michael Fitzpatrick’s sensationalist praise of Tebow, who he considers his “last hope in athletes.” What a pathetic statement coming from a writer who is surrounded on a daily basis by athletes who are just as worthy of praise.

Mr. Fitzpatrick brings up Tebow’s mission trip and asks, “How many high-profile athletes do you know who would do that?” I can name 20 Georgia players who, just last May, spent a mission trip in Honduras. The attitude of submissiveness in this column (“Next season, all that Georgia fans can hope is that their daddy doesn’t beat them too badly”) was disgusting, and I am embarrassed to call Mr. Fitzpatrick a fan of this team.
