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.”

Tim Tebow was the John the Baptist of the NFL. He prepared the way...
Dad grew up Methodist, Mom was Church of Christ, one fella from my moms church had a dairy and would let us come out to ride horses. Dad always took us and Mr Wilson always evangelized.
Dad was baptized years later and told Mr Wilson “I think you would have dunked my right there in the horse trough” Mr Wilson laughed and said “Hell yes I would have and it would of taken”

The NFL has chosen to showcase hatred of America during its TV shows.
Now that this choice is costing them money, they are trying to cover their own stench with some feel-good stories.
Isn’t going to work. Americans see the League for the hate-filled sewer that it is.
The local Dallas affiliate for NBC released this news, actually. Local reporters got film of it, or were invited to drive out and film the Baptism.
I would think it was something released or approved for release, by Jerry Jones, and never by the NFL.
Just sayin’.
there is goodness in this video.
Good. They will have something to. Array them through after football dies.
Real?
or PR Stunt?
Me, either.
Exactly. Shame on the NFL for their attempt to deceive their fans. As long as they honor thugs and cop-haters, they will not recover their fan base.
Prods will dunk you multiple times even though the Nicene creed states “we acknowledge ONE baptism for the forgiveness of sins “.
