There is however, a culture within football that is very religious. Look at a high proportion of NFL players one of the first people they will always thank is God or Jesus. It should also be noted that many football teams from Peewee to NCAA engage in team prayers. Now I am not saying that every player is a bible thumping maniac because I have seen players not partake in these prayers and those players were not ostracized for their actions.

My actual opinion on the matter is however quite different. Any player who choses to show what he believes in God is a trivial matter. Free speech folks, saying you believe in God offends no one. Saying there is no God will offend some.

Lastly, you really hit the nail on the head with the verbal fellatio that occurred on that sportscast. It was actually mildly disgusting.

Yeah heaven forbid someone with a little bit of sense (ie. a scientist aka a realist) be allowed to express their beliefs. Thats not part of intelligent design now is it? Blasphemer!!! How ’bout separation of church and sport? Just havin’ a lil’ fun folks. Relax.

Agreed. Much ado about nothing.

Conversely, however, the point he makes about “There is” “No God” eye-black is correct. No way would a coach–or school for that matter–let his player go on the field with something like that.

I dont see what the big deal is, its just a tiny message on his eye black. Why cant folks just kick back and enjoy the game and not bother with trivial things.
