I am remined of something I just read regarding Robert E. Lee on FR thread where Samuel Clemens was quoted as saying, "There is nothing harder to put up with than than the words of a good man."
You said it just right. Both of these teams were coached by good men. He is only a petty little intolerant sports guy who is basically jealous of these men for their success using their Christian principles. I think these people don't understand the idea that, no, they are not saying they pray to make a win, but that they pray to give them strength, win or lose, and to hold to their principles to do it. Now, what is wrong with that?
