faith in football
In a recent game against the Houston Texans, Oakland Raider's cornerback Chris Johnson was penalized for what he calls an act of his faith. After intercepting a pass by Matt Schaub of the Texans, Johnson dropped to his knees with his arms lifted in the air. Officials flagged him for "unsportsmanlike conduct" and sited excessive celebration. Johnson says that was not his intent, but insisted that he fell to his knees to show "respect to God".

I liked that you chose to write about this. It was well written and I look forward to reading more of your posts! :)
ReplyDeleteGood work, Taelor.This is a topic that has continuing importance for Christians who want to express their faith in public ways. The line between showboating and public awe of God's power is one that's difficult to draw. Glad you brought it up. Good eye.
