I don't see it as an intelorerance from his part. He expressed is point of view and I kind of agree with him. If someone want/need to beleive in some superior power, I have no problem with that. If a team pray in group, then I have a problem because liberty of beleive (or not) is broken. Unless a new player coming in the team is a superstar, he won't have much choice but to join the group. If he refuse to join the group, he will be tagged as a someone who is not a "team player" and he will probably not play for the team very long. That's intelorance for me.

All a need now is someone to start a blog about the national athems before each game ;)

>Not very tolerant is he? If a player prays, that is his personal choice and his right. If the entire team chose to pray together, that is their choice. It is not the football league supporting one religion (or no religion) over another or forcing religion down anyone's throat. It is free expression. His post seems extremely intolerant to me.
