Who was Jenna's dad? After watching this and listening to Fran Tarkington, I am wondering. This was great CG, I agree with Fran, Tebow does not pray to win games, but to do his best.
That is an interesting question and this is why I am really okay with him as he does not push his beliefs on anyone. For me it has nothing to do with religion. Tebow is just quietly living his beliefs instead of talking about them in a preachy way. I was thinking about Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf. I have to say if you are that strong about your beliefs that the US is that bad you should not be making money of living and playing here.
National anthem controversy
Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf is perhaps best known for the controversy created when he refused to stand for "The Star-Spangled Banner" before games,[4] stating that the flag was a symbol of oppression and that the United States had a long history of tyranny. He said that standing to the national anthem would therefore conflict with his Islamic beliefs. On March 12, 1996, the NBA suspended Abdul-Rauf for his refusal to stand, but the suspension lasted only one game. Two days later, the league was able to work out a compromise with him, whereby he would stand during the playing of the national anthem but could close his eyes and look downward. He usually silently recited a Muslim prayer during this time.
In an apparent publicity stunt gone wrong linked to this controversy, four employees of Denver's KBPI radio station were charged with misdemeanor offenses related to entering a Colorado mosque and playing "The Star-Spangled Banner" on a bugle and trumpet, in a provocative response to Abdul-Rauf's refusal to stand for the national anthem.[5]
