I like Drew but I wish he'd keep his religious crap to himself. Hate when people think they have to push their own version of religion on everyone else.

I don't see any evidence that it's mandatory.

By pushing I mean public displays (such as tweeting), including/influencing teammates, etc. I am serious about my religion, as is most of my extended family. But I'd never make any public display or try to influence anyone else. This whole "my religion is the only religion, let me save you" thing is just plain wrong, IMHO.

I don't want to pass too much judgment here without knowing the nature of it for myself.
But even if it isn't mandatory, I can easily see how such a practice could be divisive in the locker room. What if your boss started getting some employees together at work for bible readings? Even if it isn't mandatory, I can easily see where that would get weird. Look how many people in this thread have already made sarcastic remarks. There are dozens of men on a football team roster plus coaches, assistants, and other staff. I find it hard to believe that there aren't at least a few guys rolling their eyes within the organization.

Good way of explaining what I was getting at, thanks. I run a company with 500+ emps, with people in 20 countries and every custom and religion you can imagine. The last thing I would do is mention my religion as I would not want to influence anyone or create any kind of uncomfortable situation. My view is religion should be a deeply private choice and practice. Public display is bs.

He needs to ask what ever God he prays to for less interceptions.

But I'm not sure I'm ready to condemn Brees for this.

I bet Every team in the NFL and NCAA has these bible studies. So if they're rolling their eyes and can't respect the religions of others, then they are the ones causing the problem.

Interesting position. Why hold a public figure to a lesser standard? Seems to me it should be just the opposite.

Pointing fingers isn't the point here. Right or wrong, if* Drew's bible studies lead to issues in the locker room that affect the team's cohesion and thus its performance on the field, the practice should be curbed. It's a football team, not a church, after all.
*Highlighting the "if" here -- as I said in my first post, I don't want to pass judgment on this specific situation as I don't know the facts.

It's dumb to think this would cause problems

Why hold others to a higher standard than yourself?
Posted on 12/13/14 at 8:49 pm to Hoodoo Man
On the surface I wouldn't hold others to a higher standard. I would hold them to the same. But my question to you was why hold a public figure to a lesser standard. You and I agree that this kind of personal issue should remain a personal issue. That was the main point I was making.
Great question. My perspective is, the bigger the soap box the more careful one has to be about what they share/preach/etc.

Maybe focus on winning and leave that at home.

Please don't let Drew Brees turn into a Tim Tebow

He's always been like this

He also is a spokesperson for Advocare. I don't mind religious Brees, as long as he doesn't intermingle the MLM/pyramid scheme known as Advocare into his message.
