"I've tried to be the best professional, best player, best person in the community that this organization has ever seen, that's what I've always tried to do and will continue to do because that's who I am," says Tomlinson. "But to be treated like this, to me it just reaffirms my faith in God, to be honest with you. To let nothing bother me because of my faith in God and how far he has brought me. Because this is what man will do to you: Man will build you up and make you think that you're the greatest and that you're going to be here forever, and then man does this. Man crucifies you. ...
Yes, Tomlinson did just liken the Chargers' treatment of him to being crucified. Is there a more unlikable player in the NFL right now that hasn't actually killed someone? (that means Leonard Little is out of the running).

In language one can use metaphor to exceed a word's literal meaning to generate emphasis or effect. Plus, back in the day crucifixion was pretty common so it's not like he's saying he's a holy figure. This is pretty small potatoes. Don't crucify me guys.

I realize that it's a metaphor (he obviously doesn't think that anyone's going to physically nail him to a cross), but it's still pretty presumptuous and self-absorbed. I'm not even a Christian and, out of general respect, I would never liken anything that's happened to me to crucifiction.
And please, don't try to claim that it's just a coincidence that he chose the word crucify, and that it has nothing to do with religion. One sentence he's talking about his faith in God, and the next he's talking about how people are crucifying him, and you honestly believe that that's a coincidence? You're really grasping at straws...

You know me, I'm classy, I would never say anything bad about LaDainian.
