If Tim Tebow’s NFL career has been put on hold because of his Christian faith, country singer Blake Shelton has something to say about it. Shelton took to his Twitter to engage with fans in a conversation about why no NFL team has signed the 28-year-old devout Christian athlete. “Just saw the 2011 playoff game with Steelers vs. Broncos. Can someone please give me a good reason [why] Tim Tebow isn’t playing in the NFL,” Shelton asked. “I mean are you telling me that there’s NOT a team that needs him out there? Look at the problems so many teams have at quarterback!”
After one follower told Shelton that Tebow’s religious beliefs might have something to do with Tebow’s inability to get picked up by a team in the league, Shelton expressed his shock. “Is that seriously the reason?! That’s pretty sad …,” Shelton responded. “Glad they don’t hold country singers to that standard.” Last year, Tebow was passed over for an open quarterback position on the Philadelphia Eagles. Still, he handled what many would view as an upset with grace. “Thanks @Eagles and Coach Kelly for giving me the opportunity to play the game I love! Romans 8:28 #Blessed,” Tebow tweeted in September 2015. FULL REPORT
