I'm getting sick of how evangelical Christians are inserting religion into college sports.

35. That sort of thing is not unusual

I graduated from college in 2000. We went to a cross country invitational at a Baptist college where they said a prayer that included something about encouraging any non Christian to convert. Although they did not mention going to hell, I think it would have been better to stick with good sportsmanship and no injuries if they were going to lead a public prayer rather than conversion. They had that right to say that though and our school and the other schools agreed to go there.
Growing up in an area that was probably above average in church attendance, it wasn't unusual for good athletes that had won state or had an otherwise outstanding athletic career to make some mention of their faith in God. Often these were public school athletes.
