No, they HAVE brought his religion up, however, they have emphatically denied that he is anything like Tim Tebow....which is a double standard in my view, but hey, the media members don't have to answer to anybody do they? They just have their little script and they follow it, they want to make up controversies and debate and sensationalize to get ratings.

I don't think Tim Tebow is all that great, but he has heart, he is a team player, he's a solid leader, and most importantly in the sports world he WINS! Same with Jeremy Lin. I understand it's an underdog story, and that's cool, but bringing in the minute details of race, ethnicity, religion, etc is all part of the sensationalism part of it and it's just not needed.
