>>>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.

>>Maybe I misread it, but it seemed to me that he was not being intolerant about a players right to pray, All he was saying is that it spoils his enjoyment. Frankly all that blather about God helping one team over another strikes me as incredibly silly and self promoting, but hey, I still like to watch football.

Every team I've ever known that has prayed, did it in the locker room before the game - whatever they were praying for.
