Indeed, but the difference is that of being part of it by going along with things that ought to be reproved, such as the basically erotic (from what glimpses i have seen) "family" entertainment on the sidelines while you play, and on the other side, prohomosexual kowtowing ( NFL will promote what he calls a "culture of inclusion" for gay players: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-400_162-57581101/nfl-agrees-to-do-more-to-protect-gay-players/)
Saying anything against these will surely get him blacklisted (and i have endured much for making moral stands), but John the Baptist did not lose his head because he was tackled.
Being in the midst of it is not the same as going along with it . Every time he gets on his knees on the field the cameras shift focus to what he is doing instead of what they are promoting .
The problem with the church in America is that it has been silenced and pushed into a building . He is bringing it right out to the front , right out in the open .
