Manning Injury Would Be Sweet Justice: Pat Robertson

Televangelist is angry about Tim Tebow's departure

(Newser) – Pat Robertson doesn't like the way the Denver Broncos unceremoniously kicked Bible-thumping quarterback Tim Tebow to the curb in favor of Peyton Manning, and he wouldn't exactly be upset if Manning got hurt. "The Denver Broncos treated him shabbily," the televangelist declared on The 700 Club, in a segment spotted by Fox Sports. "I mean, they were a nothing team."

"And you just ask yourself, OK, so Peyton Manning was a tremendous MVP quarterback, but he's been injured," Robertson went on. "If that injury comes back, Denver will find itself without a quarterback. And in my opinion, it would serve them right." Others weigh in on the Tebow trade.

I think it is a terrible thing for Pat Robertson to say or imply. I think both players are very talented and hope the best for both, but to wish any player an injury or to imply an injury is very shortsighted! Please lets stop with the negative comments and commentary and wish all our sports players or anyone else a heads up to do their best! Can we do that, people? Can we just wish everyone to do the best they can?
