I’m not sure why this open display of faith is a problem now.

David Robinson of the San Antonio Spurs used to be quite open about his faith and as far as I can remember, did not get any flak for it.

And if an opposing team member also prayed for a win what is he to say, something like”Oh so Jesus, you like Tebow more than me? See if I ever ask for your help again”!

It's not, black athletes do it all the time and nobody says a word. My theory: left wingers including the media in particular are hostile to religion but also super sensitive to race so when they hear a black athlete praise God they may roll their eyes but they won't say a word. But if a white athlete does it, and worse, if he has the temerity to do a pro-life Super Bowl commercial, well, this has got to be made an issue. Just a theory.

David is STILL open about his beliefs. He embodied the finest character of any basketball player I’ve ever worked with - - and there’s been a LOT.

Pretty much the whole Redskins team was very openly and vocally Christian in the 80’s under Joe Gibbs. They managed to get to 3 Super Bowls, won 2, and no one dared criticize him or them.
