It's interesting that this has popped up on a message board. I was thinking the same thing while watching the prayer huddle. I am a person of faith , although I may be a little "lost" or misguided. I was thinking this: isn't it pretty much a tradition to have a pre-game prayer? Did someone forget to pray for the safety and continued health of the other players? Was God preoccupied with something more important than a preseason football game and just didn't hear the prayer? OR, was that particular prayer actually answered since the player ended up being OK afterall?
I guess for me it was a nice gesture of respect for a fallen player at the moment but utterly useless in reality for the well being of the player. That's just me. Scripture says that "time and unforeseen occurrence befall us all"....good things happen to bad people and vice versa. It's possibly Gods way of saying "my bad...shit happens. Get over it."
