What Tim Tebow's field of dreams and playing basebal and trying out for baseball is really about

   Baseball has a demographics problem and the fear of the Middle Class and baseball sports fans is that their game subsidized by big corporations may decline in popularity and after thought. a segment of the African-American population long ago dropped this game as being significant and clearly the baseball purists worry about the lack of attention and talk the game gets these days especially as soon as American football stars in early September. Tim Tebow was hoped to be a major star of the NFL  by the Christian fundamentalists , many of whom are loving of tradition and the sport of baseball. Timmie was  a major flop in the NFL despite winning many games with the powerful Denver Broncos and often made a silly spectacle of himself kneeling and praying to Jesus between timeouts and watching from the sidelines. Christianity groups are using their influence though to get this guy and his wholesome whitebread image onto the TV screens, first as an analyst for college football and now in another attempt to make a major sporting league to push his Christ like agenda on game. baseball is desperate to retain Americans interest in the sport and have White kids dream of becoming professionals as more and more roster spots ill up from South of the border. Tim Tebow smashed a lobed pitch in his first official instructional game at bat for the New York Mets instructional leagues and his monster easy home run garnered much attention for baseball and the fledgling money-losing minor leagues than baseball executives could ever dreamed. already baseballs investment in Tim Tebow--the man, the myth-- paid off big time getting the dwindling sport some publicity in the height of early ket football competition. Tim Tebow may not make the New York Mets anytime soon but he can sell some tickets to rural Christian fans of the Chattanooga Choo Choos and help the dwindling Christian celebrity advocates have someone to look up to aside form an imaginary man who claims to be the son of God. Sports are important for red-state Christian fundamentalists needing competition and a higher calling of power to propel interest outside of church. It's also no accident that the baseball organization taking an interest in Tebow is one that shares a city with a more popular team that usually gets most of the mainstream media for the sport. The New York Mets though for this one day got more attention than the Yankees because they are supporting this crack pots dream and prayers to be relevant in sport and game play despite the evidence that he does not have enough faith or God-given talent as the other atheists and heathens who are garnering  the attention and big pay checks for play.
