Baseball Team Relentlessly Mocks Tim Tebow’s Faith With Cruel Mascot Joke, Later Apologizes for Their Antics

Then Charlie, the RiverDogs’ mascot, joined the “fun” by sporting eye black with Tebow’s motivational “John 3:16” scribbled on it—something that literally summed up the former Heisman Trophy winner’s football career.

Charlie was later seen “Tebowing” on the field—poking fun at the way Tebow often used to drop to one knee and pray on the football field.

And with each Columbia hitter that came to the plate, the scoreboard reminded fans that not every player on the roster is Tim Tebow.

All of the antics were widely spread across the RiverDogs’ social media to ensure the mockery was seen by as many people as possible.

The team swears that their approach was all in good fun. But fans and those in attendance weren’t impressed by the “jokes.”

“Classless…” one Twitter user commented. “Guy brings in the 3 biggest crowds of your year – and you mock him relentlessly including his religion? Classless!”

Another suggested some harsh punishment for whoever decided to approve the game’s entertainment:

RiverDogs President and General Manager Dave Echols released a statement to the post, apologizing to anyone who may have been offended by the team’s “fun.”

“While we believe that our promotions were poking fun at Mr. Tebow’s celebrity status rather than his religion or baseball career, our intent was not to offend anyone, and for the fact that we did offend, we are sorry.”

He continued:

“Of the many promotional pieces that we executed, there were a handful on Friday’s game that some construed as in poor taste, and we made it a focus to remove those elements and celebrate Mr. Tebow the remainder of his time in Charleston.”

To no one’s surprise, Tim Tebow has remained cool and kept to himself about the mockery that unfolded in the holy city.
