As an Alabama football fan is it okay to love former Florida Gators quarterback and perennial good guy Tim Tebow?

It’s hard to hate Tim Tebow. I’ve tried. I want to hate him. I feel like as an Alabama Football fan I should be able to hate him. He chose Florida over the Alabama. He beat us in the SEC Championship game in 2008. I hate that – but I can’t hate him.

He’s just too good – and I’m not talking about his play on the field.

Lots of athletes visit kids in the hospital though right? Right. Well, Tebow built one. That’s right. He built a hospital. How can you hate someone who builds a hospital that performs life saving surgeries for critically ill children? Tell me. I want to hate him. I can’t do it.

That’s right. The Tim Tebow foundation also cares for and assists in the adoption of orphans. 

How about tebowing? Remember that? He gave us that too. Is that not enough to forgive him for beating Alabama Football? That was fun.

He’s written books about his faith, done mission work, built a hospital, helped orphans find homes, made prom night special for special needs children, drawn thousands to Easter service, played football with a 4-year-old Leukemia patient and even responded to a twitter campaign to call a grieving high school football player.

…and that’s not even close to everything he’s done since he beat Bama in 2008.

I forgive him. I love him. I can’t help it. He’s just too good.

Is it okay for a Bama fan to love Tim Tebow? Fight me in the comments or on Facebook.
