I followed him immediately. Then I read the responses to that tweet, and others.

I've always had mad respect for Arian Foster. Without that shoddy hammy, he'd be one of the best in the game.

This is nice to see.

I always found it funny when the NFL would take cheating very seriously - like the current investigation of the Patriots using under-inflated footballs. On the other hand, praise God for helping that wide receiver make that awesome catch. Talk about cheating!

Remember the way they did it in school where two kids take turns picking who they want on their teams? I'll take God for my first pick, lol.

Interesting. I rarely watch football and didn't realize god cared so much about the sport. I wonder how much money he'll now lose.

I find it amusing that Foster plays his home games at the same venue where Rick Perry hosted a prayer rally a few years ago drawing 30,000. The Texans sell out and average over 71,500 per game.

Hmm...star running back for a Texas team comes out as atheist.

I see a trade in his future.

I don't know if it works like that. Winning is EVERYTHING in the NFL. They only get rid of murderers, child molestors and wife beaters if they get caught. It'll seriously say something about how poorly we are regarded if an NFL team dumps a star player because he's an atheist.

This warrants close watching.

Nice to see someone express their beliefs that are in stark contrast to the overwhelming majority. And because most NFL players can't go a single interview without thanking god for something during the game, it's just a bit refreshing.

…so this is nice to see simply because he believes something different than the rest of the NFL? Would you be happy if a player came out and said they believed in pink unicorns? Or does the minority belief have to align with your beliefs? I cannot figure out why the fact that a player genuinely believes that his abilities are a result of God’s grace bothers you at all. Just interesting.
