But if I see someone praying during a game, and I know he isn't a Christian, I am not offended. I would wish that the person were not praying to some pagan "god", or whatever else, but I believe in his right to have his religious freedom. It isn't something that is in your face, and making a political statement.

Major difference.

Major difference to you. I respect that. But you are obviously in the minority.

Am I? Show me your proof. How many people are complaining about prayer? It's something that people might disagree with, depending on their beliefs, or lack thereof, but it isn't something that causes a stir. There would be a big fire storm, as with the protests, if a majority of people were offended by it. It's a private act. It might be in public, but it's not being done at an inappropriate time, and it's not directed at any "cause". So comparing that with the protests makes no sense.

I don't like the way players bleach their hair and act like they won the super bowl every time they make a big hit after giving up a 15 yard run, but I don't feel disrespected by it, nor do I feel it is championing a false narrative.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
