Stephen Colbert is just as puzzled as we were about the curious case of the Kansas City player who was penalized for Muslim Tebowing -- especially after the NFL decided, no, that wasn't a penalty after all. It's not so much the religious freedom question that has Colbert perplexed as a more fundamental matter: Why are Islamazoids like Husain Abdullah even playing in the NFL "if they're not allowed to touch pig skin? What's gonna happen? We're gonna have to switch to Halal balls."
Besides, Colbert says,
We all know football's a Christian sport. That's why we have plays like the "Hail Mary" and the "Lateral Judas." And in football, we thank only Jesus. Tim Tebow was so good at it, we started calling praying "Tebowing." Though these days "Tebowing" means bagging groceries at a Safeway.
Watch. Enjoy.

Stephen Colbert Perplexed By This Muslim Sportsball Man And His Exotic Ways (Video)
Sorry, but football (i.e. PIGSKIN) ain&#039;t no Christian game, as our friendly Leviticus (11:8) tells us: <i>Of their (pig) flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.</i>
So, thankfully Tebow and all his Xian cohorts will be going straight to hell. Thank you, Geezus!
I&#039;m sure everyone would have been just as upset at Teblow&#039;s celebrations if he had ever actually managed to make it into the endzone...
