For many football fans, one of the greatest “what ifs” in history is how collegiate legend Tim Tebow’s career would’ve turned out had he been given a fair shake in the NFL.
(It’s still surreal that Tebow’s sublime playoff performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers — 316 passing yards and two touchdowns — in 2012 was the last meaningful moment in the NFL for him.)
Alas, despite being a fascinating “what if,” it’s clear that Tebow’s lack of success in football (or baseball) was all part of God’s plan.
The work that the former Florida Gator quarterback is now doing is so much more important than slinging the pigskin.
In lieu of calling plays, Tebow has taken it upon himself to call on all of us to do better as a society when it comes to protecting children from the most evil and vile among us.
Tebow’s newfound passion for stopping child sexual predators and human sex trafficking has taken him intothe world of politics, and frankly, the nation is a better place for it.
The latest headline from Tebow came Tuesday, when the former Heisman trophy winner spoke to lawmakers about the scourge of child sexual abuse material, also known as CSAM — and had a map to hammer home just how bad this problem is.
“The question is, will we actually accept the responsibility of caring for these boys and girls and truly protecting them, or are we just going to continue to talk about it?” an impassioned Tebow asked lawmakers.
“But the problem is,” Tebow also said, with a sigh, “that the number now is not 57,000 [unidentified boys and girls in a CSAM database]. With all of the work that all of these people and amazing law enforcement agents and nonprofit NGOs are doing all around the world, the number is not 57,000 like we said two years ago.”
“We are losing the battle and we are losing the war, and boys and girls are suffering for it.”
