I do not follow sports, so thank you for bringing an honorable person like Tim to the forefront. I'm sure there are others like him out there, somewhere, who get stomped on. But God sees All and keeps track. My hope is people like Tim and others stay the course and strengthen their backbones. We need more like him out there!
The best thing which ever happened to Tim Tebow was he doesn't have to worry about CTE and the myriad of injuries which would have crippled him by his late thirties. His biggest and best thing he ever did was expose professional sports for the fixed woke piece of crap it has become and the fact the owners don't believe in letting anyone play except those who follow the agenda. Until fans walk out of these stadiums and don't show up to any of the games, playoffs and the Superbowl.. nothing is going to change and sports will always be the fixed corrupt government owned spectacle it is.
Oh, yes. I've written about NFL games being fixed many times. So my discussion of Tebow or any other player certainly factors that in. But at any rate, they wouldn't let him participate. Thanks, Paul.
Thanks Donald for this clear, well-written account of an emblematic modern "sports" story.
In 1987, 16 of the 28 athletes chosen in the first round of the NFL draft were white players. In 1988, that number dropped to 4 out of 30 players. To me, this marks one of the league's inflection points where a decision was made "behind the scenes." Racial demographics by race have remained remarkably consistent year-over-year, to the point where you should question the lack of outlying years.
It's easy for Joe Sixpack to swallow the line that sports are meritocratic, since this is "fair" and doesn't deprive him of a celebrity athlete career anyway. This weekend, the third cornerback taken in the draft was white star Cooper DeJean. He seems destined to convert to safety immediately due to his "very tight hips" and "All Pro potential," while two dozen black cornerbacks selected after him will make no such adjustment. If you ask Average Joe why there have been (virtually) zero white starting cornerbacks in the last 30 years, he will tell you in so many words that blacks are simply better.
These same Joes will swallow the official Network line that black coaches face discrimination because old white owners are unfamiliar, ignorant, or scared of them. They will not blink at NFL-run "super camps" for aspiring POC executives. They will purse their lips and shrug after every touchdown, when slogans like "End Racism" have been visibly painted into the endzone grass.
There is not one single position, job, or role, in sports or outside in the real world, where it would be acceptable to say that a 100% racial monopoly is due to "simply being better." But we win no points for identifying hypocrisy. It just doesn't seem to be a winning position.
The forum https://castefootball.us/ has done an admirable job archiving the narrative discrepancies over the past two decades. It's nice to encounter other sane thinkers when the alternative is to check out of the space altogether. Perhaps that's still the best policy.
Absolutely right, Phall. There is a strict quota for White players in the NFL, which has become a giant Affirmative Action project. Yes, I love Caste Football. Thanks!
Thank you, Mr. Jeffries, for making me aware of this article you wrote on Tim Tebow years ago. It truly helped me understand what I saw back then but couldn’t quite understand because I didn’t know how evil these people are that control everything. I knew instinctively it was because he was a true Christian young man who walked the talk, but I also knew he was incredibly talented. I watched those Bronco games where he was simply spectacular, especially the one which took them to the playoffs. I live in CO. I never forgave the Broncos and to this day, I hope they lose every time they play. I’m not a person who carries a grudge ever, until this. I still have a Tebow jersey but I have never worn anything Bronco since they persecuted him. I heard John Elway was a womanizer back then. I know, who isn’t? But wicked people can’t stand to be in the presence of goodness. Tim Tebow made wicked people uncomfortable because he was guileless, without malice. The devil made sure he would never make it in the NFL. But Tim knows that God works all things for good to those He has called. Tim was and is special and he has continued to walk in the path God ordained for him. Nothing formed against Tim was allowed to harm him, but to strengthen him and glorify God. I may break down and support the Broncos next season because of Bo Nix, who is another young Christian man. My maiden name is Nix too. So maybe it’s time for me to let my grudge go!😊 Time will tell if Bo is allowed to succeed and bring glory to God! Elway is long gone and so are the former owners. Thank you again for sharing this with me. I’m going to share it on X with Tim Tebow if he’s on there. If he’s never seen it, it might really bless him today to know you had his back.🙏🏻😉
TT is a honorable man—more decent than I would have been with his talents. Sadly, America doesn’t tolerate honorable men.
The villains hate the good guys. (It's an easy thing to remember because the leftists remind us millions of times a day.)

Amen!
You do realise NFL have admitted they are an entertainment business, not a sport, just like WWE / WWF.

You are welcome.

I appreciate the kind words, Yellow. I really loved Tebow, and the way he was run out of the league was a crime. Thanks!
