High school basketball players beaten for 'Tebowing'

CHARLESTON, S.C. – The rivalry between two South Carolina high schools boiled over after a basketball match, with two fans of the victorious side reportedly beaten up by opposition supporters for "Tebowing."
The Wando High School pair were attacked after their school had inflicted a 20-point defeat on West Ashley High in Charleston, during which they had copied the Denver Broncos quarterback's iconic prayer pose, The Post and Courier reported Saturday.
They were punched and kicked in a parking lot, to the point that one was left vomiting from being hit repeatedly in the stomach.
Lara Isaac, whose 17-year-old son was one of the victims, said the attack was a reprisal for the pair "Tebowing."
"They were scared for their lives," she said. "No one was manning the exits to make sure this wouldn't happen. The kids who did this apparently knew that."

Their "tebowing" was effectively taunting. I disagree that the response to being taunted is to kick the shit out of them. But, if you don't want the shit kicked out of you, hint: don't taunt them.

Publicly giving all the credit to God is being humble.

No it's not. It's bashing everyone over the head with the fact that you think you're so important that God would bow down and personally intervene with something as insignificant as you playing basketball or football. That's hubris, not humility.

If it were sincere, they wouldn't be emulating a prominent celebrity.

How does this make any sense? So if Stephen Colbert bows to a Japanese high priest or prime minister out of respect and then later I do it, I am not sincere?

If Stephen Colbert invented a distinct bow and performed so frequently that it became his signature move and you decided to emulate him, yes that would seem very insincere.
 
I support the beatings. I think everyone doing this should be beaten until they can no longer kneel. Then this will no longer be an issue.
