I don't a single person who watches or is interested in Tebow because he is white.
You're confused again. There's a difference between actively rooting for someone because they're white and giving a white guy more credit than an equal black guy. Don't act like the media doesn't lionize the David Ecksteins of the world while ignoring similarly undersized black athletes. There's no way in hell Tebow would get this kind of attention if he were black or another minority.
