💬 I think it's reasonable to expect to see people upset, like they were with Tebow, with Tua expressing his faith. In fact, I'd say worse.

We can be easy to mix up sometimes, I guess. Damn heathens.

:rolf: I think that guy just hated me and wanted to take it on me anyway lol

 

[BAMAneck]

I for one loved it .. If more kids had Christian values ‘merica Wouldn’t be battling from turning into ; Sodom or Gomorrah .

 

[Tidestalker]

America will never be as upset with Tua as they were Tebow for 1 obvious reason...

He's not white. Seriously....

That crowd will never go after Tua with the same passion.

 

[TUSKtimes]

Tua actually said he chose Alabama because of its religious culture. I take that to mean he wouldn't be here otherwise. Nothing he has done at this point with his on the field gestures and a few comments is less than what I expected. Listening to him break done the cover 2 that Georgia was in for the win, now that was impressive.

Where were the players?

In the tunnel standing w/hands over hearts. Least ours were. Dunno bout Jaw-juh.

But, it matters not where the players were.

No kneeler was given the spotlight. It was all about the anthem itself, not who was/wasn't kneeling.

One thing about the kid - he is Christ centered. Seems like a breath of fresh air with the Mayfields, Winstons, and Manziels of the current college landscape. Way too early Heisman front runner for 2018?

@Sgt. Lincoln Osiris , I'm not disagreeing with you in principle but in that one point quoted from your reply. I think College Football has the solution to the problem. I'm not speaking for @TUSKstuff but what I took from his question was that's the answer to the NFL's problem. The players were kept out of sight and out of mind in the dressing room or tunnel. The anthem was performed in a respectful manner that we all enjoyed without any distractions.

A simple solution to the (well, one of the) problems the NFL has on it's hands.

I'm an atheist and I don't mind what he said. I feel like most players express such sentiments. Hell, Carson Wentz (my QB) is a very vocal Christian.

I don't care if you're Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Hindu, animist, Satanist, agnostic, atheist, Shintoist, whatever you want. Don't shove it down my throat, don't be excessive, and just WIN.

Yeah that's the great part about being Episcopalalian. We don't care about what you are or who you are. We focus on prayer for you no matter what you believe. Most of our service is praying for others.
