    Any person should feel free to pray whenever they so choose, but it's always struck me that athletes who pray to win sports games are a little shallow and self-centered.

    Of course, she could have been praying for world peace. Who knows?

    How can someone "make up" their opinion?

    I think athletes who pray to win are shallow and self-centered?

    What did I make up?
