i think its funny, and to be honest, (although i follow football only since one or two seasons), they should shut the fuck up about their religious beliefs. i am talkin about all these guys like warner or tebow (or any other nfl-player you hear talking about god in interviews)
i can understand that they are thankful to have these opportunities and shit, but seriously, its not that god helped them to get that far. now they might have that impression, but they are on the easy side. ask some guy who was born in a violent and poor area but still believed firmly in god until he was shot ten times why god didnt think he deserved to play sports for a living at 330k+ per year (and obviously up to 15-20m per year).
