| FootballFan said: Well i think its a good precaution to have. Do players need to pray ever time they score or win? No. Its more of a safety matter, if i was to have been a footballer i would have worn a t-shirt with "Atheism is the true path" on. I would like to see in certain countries that i was playing against if they would respect my freedom of expression/religion. (1) Why even bother risking the potential for religous tensions and potentially riots? (2) I am guessing that Brazil is a majority Christian country because otherwise i very much doubt Kaka would have taken the risk. (3) |
(1) What does it matter if other countries dont respect people's right to free speech? That is a right and any country that doesnt recognize it is wrong.
(2) Because that is one's right to express themselves. It's easy to stick to priciples when nothing's at stake.
(3) It is mostly catholic, but evangelicals (like Kaka and Lucio) have been growing fast for the past 15-20 years.
