Gee, whenever it's got guns in the mix any number of people explode that "thoughts and prayers are inadequate...the American People demand more..." But now that it's a football player who went down unexplainably and by surprise it is okay for the president and even ESPN to have prayer. Those who object are at least not grousing about it publicly.
I don't pretend to be Jesus, but I completely get why hypocrisy outraged him more than any other sin. It is assuming the place of God over your fellow men, as if your moral judgement is not really informed by your prejudices, the culture you aspire to be part of, and how you are still trying to prove your parents wrong 60 years later - it's only those other ignorant people who do that.
