Tim Tebow Receiving Mixed Response at Yankees Game Isn't Shocking

Here's a shocker for you, folks—Tim Tebow showed up at a New York Yankees game and received a mixed response from the crowd when he was shown on the big screen.

I know what you're thinking:

Gasp. Timothy, are you telling me that one of the NFL's most polarizing figures was met with a mixed response in a public place?

Yup, I'm dropping that bombshell on you.

Here's the scoop, from Roger Rubin and Anthony McCarron of the New York Daily News:

"

Tim Tebow made the scene at the Stadium for Sunday night’s 11-5 win over the Angels. The newest Jet, who is due to attend workouts with the team on Monday, sat on the third-base side next to the Angels dugout with a Yankees cap on and, at one point, engaged in an animated conversation with Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat.

When the Stadium video board showed Tebow, he received equal parts boos and cheers.

"

I don't know how allegiances in New York work, but from what I've heard, the Bronx leans toward the Giants, though not in staggering numbers. But that would certainly explain at least some of the boos—why wouldn't Giants' fans boo a Jets' quarterback?

It could have been worse—he could have been sitting next to LeBron James.

And honestly, I think people are pretty Tebowed out at this point. His every little move is monitored, his every sentence explicated and his every appearance at a baseball game written about on Bleacher Report.

Frankly, people are a little sick of the dude. It has nothing to do with the man himself, I'd imagine, but simply the media's overexposure of him.

In any other city, he'd get the same mixed reaction. He's not just Tim Tebow anymore—Tebowmania has taken over, sucked the man into the storm and the rest of the country with him. He didn't create the storm, but like it or not, he's the eye of it.

I wonder if he gets that, or if he even cares. He seems to have other priorities. I'm sure a few booing Yankees fans won't change that.

Hit me up on Twitter—my tweets light the lamp like Danny Briere.
