Nike May Recall New Tim Tebow Shoes (HUMOUR)

Facing pressure from special interest groups and the United States Government, Nike may recall its new limited edition Tim Tebow Air Trainers.

The blue and orange Tebow endorsed shoes, which sold out on nikestore.com within 5 minutes last week, sparked a firestorm of protests.

Southern Baptists called for a boycott of the sneaker giant, expressing outrage at Nike for naming the new Tebow shoe "Air Trainer 1.2" instead of John 3:16.

Jesse Jackson threatened to picket Denver Bronco home games this season, assailing Nike for failing to offer similar shoe deals to other NFL back-up quarterbacks of color.

Pro Choice groups were still steaming from the QB’s Pro Life Super Bowl ad earlier this year, and protested that the Tebow endorsed shoes infringed upon a woman’s constitutional right to choose. Pro Choicers plan to boycott not only Nike, but also Jockey, Bible makers, and all other products associated with the evangelical NFL rookie.

The ACLU claimed that the Promise decal on the shoes’ heel is another Tebow attempt to proselytize his faith,  and filed suit in Federal Court against the NFL to protect every American football fan’s fundamental right to separation of church and state.

Finally, Homeland Security reported that anyone who wore the new Tebow shoes and also demonstrated the ability to walk on water and leave no discernable footprints when walking on sand would raise the Threat Level to Red. The Department feared that terrorists would go undetected if they entered the country wearing the new Tebow shoes.

However, Cincinnati Bengal safety Kyries Hebert quickly challenged Homeland Security’s charge by offering, “the new Tebow shoes may not leave footprints in the sand, but when no. 15 ran me over on the goal line on Sunday night, they definitely left cleat marks on my forehead.

Straight talk. No static.
