When I become a professional football player I'm going to show off my atheism.
Seriously though. Football is a secular event, it has never held a religious message in the past and I don't know why it should happen now. It's acceptable if someone wants to perform their own private ritual after scoring a goal such as offering a prayer as that is more down to personal preference. For example when Frank Lampard pointed to heaven when he scored just after his mother died.
But allowing the whole team to offer up prayers and wear Jesus T-shirts is rather silly because that has crossed the boundary of personal preference by a long way. That's in the realms of preaching and converting, which should not be allowed in secular games. let them do that on their own time if they want.
It doesn't happen with anything else such as politics in football so why this?
