Stand, kneel, sit, anything. But do something for the people affected by this tragedy.
I couldn't agree more, Steve. The Constitution grants us the freedom to pray. It also grants us the freedom to not pray, if we so desire. Whether one is standing, kneeling, sitting, or lying flat on their back, is of no consequence. The most important thing is that these two teams of players and coaches agreed to pray and worship, each in his own way. To say that kneeling to pray is reserved for Christians is about as stupid as anything I've ever read. Wait until the Muslims find out that they're praying to God instead of Allah, everytime they hit their knees.
