Football Russell Wilson explains why he threw that pick in the SB - Page 6

-King- · 07-06-2015, 05:54 PM

“The play happens, and they pick the ball off. And I take three steps,” Wilson said. “And on the third step God says to me, ‘I’m using you. . . . I want to see how you respond. But most importantly I want them to see how you respond.”

It's very upsetting that a pastor is asking someone about their personal life like that.

It's none of his or anybody's damn business.

it could also be a coping mechanism, as well

could you imagine throwing an INT to lose a Super Bowl on the 1 yard line? He's probably using his devout faith to try and heal. Me? I'd use liquor. To each their own, right?

An argument can be made that religion itself is just a giant coping mechanism.

Religion makes people feel special,not alone and gives them hope no matter what the situation.

In the festering pile of bigotry in this thread, yours was the only post that had any sort of tolerance for his comments.

I agree that I dont want to see these sports figures (or any public figure outside the realm of politics) preaching to me about anything. I try to ignore it when I can, but its very hard. ESPN was almost unwatchable the first half of the NFL season last year with all the PC garbage that took up all the air time where there should have been discussion about the games.

I dont find Wilson a nut or nutty for being a person of faith. If he believes that God was using him, that's his belief. It's no more nutty than Michael Sam and his beliefs.

Wilson is a fraud. Tebow and Warner are true, genuine, and authentic Christian athletes.

Wilson does what he believes is best for him and his religion and he's a weird toolbag but Jenner gets his dick snipped and jammed inside him plus a boob job and he's a courageous ladydude doing what makes him happy.

****in people man.

That's one strategy for shedding some of the blame.

I've got no issue with Wilson and God. I wish him nothing but joy and enlightenment on that front.

I've got an issue with Wilson telling us that he shit the bed because God wanted other people to see how he handles it.

Wilson shit the bed because the threw the ball to the wrong spot. That's not on God. That's not non Carroll. That's on Wilson.

I've got two stepchildren that helped me so much when I had to cope with the eventual death of my wife that I honestly don't know what I would have been like going through it without them.

God has shown time and again that He cleanly cares about football teams and the outcomes of sporting events.
