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.

Speaking as a football fan, if you believe that God is influencing the outcome of the games, what's the point of pretending there's actual competition going on, or that the players and their athletic skills matter in the slightest? If God is really involved, the whole thing is a total farce.

But, that's true about life in general, really.
