NFL quarterback Tim Tebow has canceled an appearance at a controversial Dallas-area church. The outspoken Christian quarterback was scheduled to speak at First Baptist Church on April 28.
The church is led by Robert Jeffress, who has been widely criticized for views against homosexuality, Islam and Mormonism. Tebow, announcing his decision Thursday on Twitter, said that he was canceling his appearance "due to new information that has been brought to my attention."
Tebow's statement appeared over a series of four tweets on the social media site.

Really good move by Tebow to not be associated with the First Baptist Church of Hate in Dallas.... the preacher is a real kook. He's closer to Westboro Crazies than real Christians.
