Tim Tebow attacks athletes humble enough to insist they're not role models: 'Yes you are. You're just not very good ones.'

Celebration's Pastor Lori Champion and pastor Joe Champion,
former LSU football player and current board member of
Oral Roberts University.
The mediocre quarter­back, notorious for ostentatious displays of on-field piety when the cameras are trained on him, directly attacked athletes who keep their religion (or lack thereof) private and encourage kids not to idolize sports figures.
     The venue was an outdoor Easter extravaganza staged by the four-location Celebration megachurch, located in the Austin, Texas "metroplex" (take that, Dallas!) where, according to the AP:
Media access to the event was tightly controlled inside the roped-off field. Reporters were required to have an escort when walking through the crowd, and photographers were not allowed inside during the service. Television cameras were allowed to record only a portion of Tebow's speech, and no live video streaming of the service was permitted.
