Houston Texans' Arian Foster goes public about not believing in God

"It's difficult to imagine that any current or former teammate of Foster's will be surprised to learn that he does not believe in God. He openly discusses religion in the locker room, and opposing players often introduce themselves by saying, "I hear you're different." And yet he's spent six years in the NFL shielding his nonbelief from the public out of fear of being misinterpreted or -- even worse -- mislabeled. "This is unprecedented," says Todd Stiefel, chair of Openly Secular. "He is the first active professional athlete, let alone star, to ever stand up in support of gaining respect for secular Americans."

"JUSTIN FORSETT NOTICED the tattoo first. coexist, written in religious symbols, running across Foster's right forearm.

The son of a preacher, Forsett had one thought: OK, this guy's different."



First open non-believer in the NFL apparently.



Btw, yes, this is an ESPN HEADLINE STORY :mjlol:

Exactly and you have to go down 3 or 4 stories to get to Patrick Kane. Well I guess that is progress ESPN use to bury the stories and not even put them in the top stories when white players got in trouble.
