We have two of them here. &#8220;Tim, if you will, two-part question.  Number one: Obviously, you know New York\u2019s huge market and your faith is very important to you.  Was the thought of being able to spread your faith in the New York market a big deal, and how about spreading your faith within the locker room, and do you do that very carefully?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Sports media asking a social issues question here.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_60703\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/TebowJetsPresser.jpg\"\/><BR\/>TEBOW:  Well, I think, first and foremost, it doesn\u2019t matter what market I was in.  Any market, I just want to be myself. And when I\u2019m asked about it, I won\u2019t be ashamed of saying that I serve my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.  And in the locker room, you know, it\u2019s not something that I\u2019m super outspoken about.  It\u2019s just that\u2019s who I am and that\u2019s how I live. And I don\u2019t try to share it with a lot of guys. I don\u2019t try to, you know, approach a lot of guys with it. Because I think the greatest way to share the Gospel is by acting it and by them seeing who you are as a person and that\u2019s how I approach it.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  And the next question: &#8220;Tim, if you wouldn\u2019t mind talking to us about your core beliefs, and also some of the social hot-button topics that we hear politicians talk about, religious leaders talk about.  You haven\u2019t said a whole lot about that.  Is there a reason why,&#8221; backup quarterback for the New York Jets, &#8220;you haven\u2019t spoken out about social issues and your core beliefs that we hear politicians&#8230;?&#8221; When was the last football player ever asked about &#8220;core&#8221; beliefs?  Here\u2019s Tebow\u2019s answer&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>TEBOW:  We\u2019re at a press conference for a football team. So it\u2019s not exactly the platform to get up here and share everything you believe, but I have no problems ever sharing what I believe. You know, I\u2019m a Christian, I\u2019m a follower of Jesus Christ, and that is first and foremost the most important thing in my life. And, for me, it\u2019s about having a relationship with Christ, and that\u2019s pretty much it.  This is a press conference for the New York Jets football team, and so I feel like it\u2019s an opportunity to answer questions about my opportunity to be here as a Jet and I\u2019m excited about that. And any time I get an opportunity I\u2019m always gonna talk about Jesus Christ and what He\u2019s done in my life, but this is also here to talk about the Jets.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  That\u2019s the New York sports media &#8212; just as liberal as their buddies in the news press corps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s the question from the New York sports media.
