It’s a fucking stupid point, though, because there are Muslim players in the NFL and they don’t do that. The fact is that Tebow performing his faith is an act of extreme privilege in America. “Imagine if [non-Muslim players] mockingly bowed toward Mecca, too, after tackling him for a loss or scoring a touchdown,” the Fox link up there posits, but there’s no opportunity for it, because when Muhammad Wilkerson scored a safety by sacking Luke McCown in the end zone when the Jets played the Jaguars, he didn’t perform an overt religious display.

If he had? Holy shit, guys. Can you imagine the freakout that would follow? Can you imagine the bullshit organizations with the word family in their name protesting the Jets organization like they did Lowe’s?
