Video of Cowboys Players Baptized at The Star Goes Viral
NBC DFW ^ | Dec 7, 2017 | Pat Doney

Posted on 12/08/2017 11:34:09 AM PST by nickcarraway

Three Cowboys players were baptized at the team's practice facility Tuesday.

On a Tuesday afternoon, the Dallas Cowboys training room pool frequently used to rehabilitate injuries instead served as the venue for lives being transformed.

Three Cowboys players – safety Kavon Frazier, linebacker Anthony Hitchens, and linebacker Justin March-Lillard – were baptized at the Cowboys practice facility by the team’s chaplain, Jonathan Evans, who posted the video to his Facebook page. As of Thursday afternoon, the two-minute clip had been viewed more than two million times.

“It’s good it’s blowing up,” Frazier said. “It’s getting His name out to a lot more people who may not be believers.”

Frazier says he was baptized as a young child, but wanted to make the decision for himself as an adult.

“I was always a believer, but this was the first time I really took God seriously,” Frazier said. “I was really glad to see (my teammates) alongside me cheering us on when we were getting baptized. They cheer us on on the field, but this is a different part of life.”

“It makes us closer together and makes us more of a family than we already are.”

After the Steeler possibly being paralyzed below the waist, I suspect more players may turn to God.

ONE good outcome from a horrifying incident.

The player who was hurt believes strongly in prayer as does his fiance and they are very thankful for all the prayers sent their way.

This REALLY makes the kneelers look like fools.

So were these 3 one of these knee-drop anti American pukes? Then I dont care if they were baptized 1000 times.

The NFL is certainly promoting this news

They know they pissed off many Americans with their social justice BS, lost many eyeballs, and above all lots of $$$, so they will compensate with many more “salutes to the military” and things like this.

Don’t be manipulated.

So if these three quietly make the sign of the cross at the end of the national anthem, can we expect liberal heads to explode and demand that they stop using the national anthem as a vehicle for their own causes?

The whole team made a big show of kneeling with owner Jerry Jones, didn’t they?

In a world of bad NFL news, this is a bright spot. Despite the high-profile malcontents, there are really a lot of really good people/players in the NFL.

Surprised the NFL would allow such. They forbid the Cowboys from honoring dead cops. I guess Goodell with his new $200M contract feels benevolent.

Yes, good news, but the NFL is pushing these stories in a desperate attempt to get back in the good graces of Americans. It won’t work. As long as they are celebrating thugs like Trayvon Martin, etc. and pushing leftist narratives on the police and crime, they can go suck an egg.
