Seriously?  C'mon - there's a difference between actually hating someone and "sports hate".  How many of us "hate" the Tennessee Titans and Jeff Fischer?  That doesn't say anything about us as people - it says something about us as football fans.  I don't personally know any NFL player, so I can't speak to the type of person any of them are, but yet in the context of the team that I support and their rivals, yes I hate the Titans and Colts and Texans (add in the Steelers and the Patriots and a few more).  Very few people here actually know Tebow, so their "hate" for him is "sports hate" based on multiple factors, including his former college team, as well as it coming from the backlash against his immense popularity despite failing as a player. 

I'm fine with Tebow the person (from the little I know), but I certainly don't want a 33 yr old who hasn't played in an NFL game in over 8 years and has never played the position in question, never ran a route and never blocked a DE or a blitzing LB, to be signed to the Jags.  And I certainly don't want to sit in the stands and listen to the Saint Timmy followers yelling for him to go in at QB every time Trevor Lawrence throws an incompletion.
