Earlier this week, we reported that Tim Tebow was expected to be signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Since then, liberals have been up in arms that Tebow is potentially making his NFL comeback before their beloved Colin Kaepernick.
Tebow To Be Signed With Jaguars
It was first reported on Monday that Tebow is believed to be about to be signed as a tight end for the Jaguars. Find out more about that in this video.

Why Hasn’t Kaepernick Been Signed To The NFL?
This sparked outrage from leftists who are furious that Kaepernick has not been signed to another team.
He left the San Francisco 49ers after the 2016 season when he made headlines for taking a knee during the national anthem before his games.

Sports commentator Gran Liffmann chimes in:
There is no scenario in which Tim Tebow provides more use on the football field than Colin Kaepernick
Absolutely zero

Another outraged fan used Tebow’s Christian faith, something the athlete has long been open about, to attack him.
The fact that religious chauvinist, Tim Tebow, gets another shot at the NFL before Colin Kaepernick does proves once and for all it's not about talent and never was.

Twitter Users Compare Kaepernick And Tebow Kneeling
Another Twitter user posted side-by-side photos of Kaepernick and Tebow taking a knee.
This user is conveniently ignoring the fact that while Tebow is taking a knee in prayer, Kaepernick is doing so during the national anthem in a clear sign of disrespect to the American flag.
“Interesting how the same people that are praising Tim Tebow for his values outside of football, see Colin Kaepernick’s values as a distraction,” the tweet read.

Tebow – Hasn't played in the NFL since 2012. Gets another shot.
Kaepernick – Hasn't played since 2016. Gets nothing.

Liberals have long claimed that the NFL has blacklisted Kaepernick for his “woke” views on politics and race, something the league has long denied.
They conveniently ignore the fact that Kaepernick led the 49ers to an abysmal losing record during his final season with the team.
It’s more his lack of football talent that has led to him not getting signed again than anything else.
Since leaving football years ago, Tebow has shown that he is a star athlete by becoming a professional baseball player for the New York Mets.
But that doesn’t sit well with some players.
So Tebow haven’t played an NFL game in damn near a decade and it’s that simple…no hate but you got to be kidding me

Devin Bush, a line backer for the Pittsburgh Steelers couldn’t believe that Tebow was signed before Kaepernick.

Any team in either sport would be lucky to have him. We hope the Jaguars don’t back down to this liberal pressure, and that they move forward with signing Tebow.
