You just proved their point. You state religion is celebrating at church, where Christians and other members of faith go, not at sporting events.
I have a real good friend and a family member who are gay, both who I love. I respect them and they respect me. They don't try and cram their thinking down my throat and vice versa. So why is it ok to have universities and pro teams do it?
Tebow was mocked for praying on the field, RG III was told to take off a pro Jesus shirt before an interview. The NFL was against their actions then yet when a player is dying on the field, it's ok with the NFL to want God to help. Funny how that works.
