Flattening Tebowmania: Czech Newspapers on Tim Tebow
Original language description
Flattening Tebowmania: Czech Newspapers on Tim Tebow This paper compares and contrasts newspaper reporting on Tim Tebow in US and Czech media, with the goal of introducing the phenomenon of "tebowmania" and highlighting its potential for cultural studies, in particular studies of contemporary American popular culture and sports. While in the United States Tim Tebow, an American football quarterback, has been causing turmoil, nation-wide frenzy and strong backlash at the same time, Czech newspapers ? both serious newspapers and tabloids ? have only managed to pick up and point out mere pieces of the discussion surrounding this larger-than-life figure; have flattened and simplified Tebow's impact on American culture and even politics. In today?s America,Tebow is not only a quarterback ? position, which many experts and fans doubt he is really capable of playing ? but also a role model and a scapegoat.
