What Tim Tebow's failure teaches us about America

Reblogged from The Verbal Sniper, by Alan Skontra:

Yesterday, the day a basketball player became the first openly gay athlete in one of the big four pro team sports, the cover story on ESPN's website was about the New York Jets cutting their fifth-string quarterback.

I said on Facebook that I'm looking forward to the day when neither is a story. I'm actually surprised that I didn't see more people talk about Jason Collins…
