[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a Canadian, I was very surprised to hear a religious speech before an international sporting event not affiliated with any religion. I put it up to US Christian evangelism. I saw it as somewhat insulting to non Christian fans and players alike. I equate it with having a political speech at a sporting event. Not the time or place. But then, I also don't like national anthems played before NHL league games. At least here there are national teams competing. As for saying that "most" athletes are Christians, that doesn't mean they subscribe to the same values and views of one specific group. Just look at the number of LGBTQ players that play on their national teams. Should they have to listen to a sermon by some group that works to deny their rights and sees them as sinners for who they are. Religion should stay in the church or in your home.[/quote]
My Canadian friend…your country literally takes the path of least resistance on everything and stand for nothing. Take a stand on something! We live in a world where kids are confused because they think that everything is OK and they answer to no one! It’s easy to be passive, hard to stand for what you believe in and not just apathy.[/quote]
