tangible about life after death, but there are stories from experiences. Again that comes back to faith.
To yours and other points, personally I don't have any issues when people give credit, glory, etc to whatever entity they want. First, there is enough issues in the world, that if that's the worst coming from an athlete, I'm good with that. But more importantly, I don't know what's happened in that individual's life. That person may have seen or experienced some pretty bad stuff and his faith may have helped him get through that to be a better person and achieve more. If that message helps 1 person for every person that's bothered, then I think that is a good thing overall.
I'm not a Serena Williams fan, but I respected her tennis ability and talent. After every title, she gave credit to Jehovah. I don't follow that religion and I guess I could have let it bother me, but it never did. That was her moment and felt she was entitled to it. I had a friend that couldn't let it go when someone thanked God, etc. it just never bothered me. My friends know excessive visible jewelry probably bothers me more than anything on the field.
