    I get where you’re coming from but at the same time it’s still just… Absolutely hilarious that he’s trying to call this worship. It’s like seeing atheists making fun of a particularly stupid passage in the Bible and then telling them that they’re worshiping god.

      I don’t think they were talking about this specific instance. They were talking about actually famous and successful singers and athletes. Also the only reason there is a news piece mocking this kid is the fact that ordinarily Americans care a lot about what famous athletes and pop stars say. It’s not like that they would make a similar piece mocking a baker or handyman or something. This news article exists because it’s relevant to how important professional athletes’ words are.
