Latest of Tebow...

I found this rather interesting. Many politicians make bets on games with the politicians of the other city/state and sometimes setting the bet is funny. Now here is the latest.

Mayor Makes Good On Bronco Bet, “Tebows” « CBS Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Is Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl getting caught up in the Internet craze inspired by Denver Broncos’ Quarterback Tim Tebow? No, he’s just making good on a bet.

Prior to the Steelers’ season ending overtime loss to the Broncos on Sunday, Ravenstahl made a friendly playoff wager with his counterpart in Denver, Mayor Michael Hancock...


...Since the Broncos bested the black and gold, Ravenstahl made good on the bet by taking a knee in Roberto Clemente Memorial Park on the North Shore this morning...

Mr Mayor, thank you for being a good sport on this and setting your bet. I doubt a prayer will harm you. But I found this part of an objective news article to be interesting

...As part of the deal, Ravenstahl agreed to don a Broncos jersey and strike the infamous prayerful pose for a picture...
I wonder, why is a Christian kneeling and praying to Jesus Christ so radical? I looked up the definition of infamous and it comes back as:

Definition of INFAMOUS

1: having a reputation of the worst kind : notoriously evil
2: causing or bringing infamy : disgraceful
3: convicted of an offense bringing infamy

Gee CBS News, is a man praying publicly "having a reputation of the worst kind.." Will you call muslims praying "infamous"? I don't see them causing problems, then again I don't' see Tebow doing it.
