Jesus fanatic Tim Tebow fined for infamous billboard
Read Time:54 Second
You might remember hearing about the “Play Tebow” billboard that appeared in Denver back in September. Now you’ll hear the rest of the story.
Jeff Darlington of NFL Network reports that four days after the billboard went up, Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow was fined by teammates including Kyle Orton for not publicly scolding the sign-makers.
The fines mounted for six days until Broncos coach John Fox replaced Orton with Tebow as the starter, and the sign came down.
The fine was never paid. And now Orton returns to the scene of the crime on Sunday to face Tebow as Chiefs quarterback.
So who put up the billboard?
Tariq, Ali, and Mohammad Suleimans, three Muslim brothers from Denver, are responsible. Tebow, as most fans know, is a devout Christian who prays so visibly during games that his kneeling worship — “Tebowing” — has become a national craze.
Mohammad Suleiman, 26, became aware of failed efforts to raise funds to put up a billboard supporting Tebow’s increased role. Unlike other Broncos fans, Mohammad had the connections to make it happen.
