Football Player Penalized For Praying

A football player in Florida who said a prayer on the field after he scored the first touchdown of his career, was given a penalty for that prayer.

Yes, you read that correctly.  The player was given a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike like conduct.

I continue to ask what the heck is going on in this world.

Luckily, there are some sane people in his life who have been supporting him.  His family, friends and teammates are all behind him.

Even if you do not believe in a higher power, how could someone praying quietly offend you?

Should the football player have received a penalty for praying?
