Too often, the news stories covering NFL athletes are very negative. This one is beautiful except dumb questions by a journalist clearly drinking Haterade.
Jacksonville Jaguars star Travis Hunter responds to reporter who asked him why he got baptized before his game.

"It's a crazy question. Why did I get baptized? It's Sunday, it's God's day, and I've been planning to get baptized for a minute."

Travis Hunter, recent first round draft pick and one of the very rare players playing offense and defense, decided to get baptized before last Sunday's game. For some reasons, a reporter was baffled by that choice. Sigh.
I love this! Look at his beautiful smile. https://t.co/EFYRU2vDai

That's the smile of a changed man!
Guess what, if this bothers you then you are wrong! Shout out Travis for speaking out about his faith. Love to see this. Setting the example for all the young kids that look up to his as a player and a man. https://t.co/hM1AECbQoZ

Asking someone why did they get baptized? Is the most ridiculous question ever to ask? https://t.co/lgOtwY7wjJ

It's an absolutely ridiculous answer, but par for the course for media that always has beef with Christians and certainly don't want Christ followers to talk about it.
In what other era would reporters ask an athlete about his Christianity? Good opportunity for him to provide testimony and I hope that’s what predicated the question but I have my doubts… https://t.co/2sITHyRMBl

Whether or not she intended it to humiliate him or mock him, he used it as an opportunity to proclaim the name of Jesus. Good for him!
There’s a revival coming in this country. Support it. Pray for it. Join it. It’s moving fastest and deepest with the young, and more than anything, that gives me hope. https://t.co/PnUSmb7uDO

Absolutely! He called her out with grace.
These reporters don’t like Christian athletes

He handled the dumb question perfectly. With class.

Best way to change your life is by putting your faith in Christ.

American culture has been experiencing a role model shortage. Glad to see good men stepping up.

This is so refreshing, particularly after we had to endure the 'NFL players kneeling during the National Anthem era'.
That’s the kind of mindset this country needs more of… young men putting faith first and striving to be better. Proud of him for standing strong in his beliefs. 👏👏

Yes, way more of this and way less of the toxic divisive nonsense being fed to American young people.
