Anti-Tebow website set up: Fans of the Jacksonville Jaguars have set up an anti-Tim Tebow website amid Tebow fans’ suggestions that the free agent quarterback should sign with the team.
ESPN reported that the anti-Tebow website, Evenifhesreleased.com, was created by the the Bold City Brigade fan group.
As of Thursday, more than 90,000 people clicked to support the initiative, which says “real Jaguars fans ... don’t need Tim Tebow.”
“Obviously it’s frustrating to be constantly bombarded by the Tebow-mania. Many die-hard Jaguars fans feel ignored. We feel like our voices are not heard because we tend to sit back and not do anything brash and in-your-face,” John Caputo, president of Bold City Brigade, told ESPN.
Last week, there was a petition created on the White House’s website in demanding that the Jaguars sign Tebow, who played for the Florida Gators, winning a Heisman Trophy there. The petition was taken down promptly after it got media attention.
Jaguars general manager David Caldwell said that he could not “imagine a scenario where he'd be a Jaguar, even if he’s released” back in January, but rumors and reports have still swirled around Tebow, who was released from the New York Jets around two weeks ago.
Caldwell stressed the team won’t pursue Tebow “even if he’s released,” reported NFL.com.
