It’s great to see the Giants celebrating their win over the Green Bay Packers but there’s a funny thing in this video that’s been posted by the Giants.
Just as Coach Tom Coughlin and his players kneel to pray, the video is edited (quite poorly) and it jumps and all of a sudden they’re all jumping around again. I’ve gotta’ ask why would they edit that out?
Do they really think football fans will somehow be so offended by seeing people pray? Pretty darn ridiculous.
And here’s the thing, if you’re going to edit it out at least do a better job of it.

Was it edited? Or did the person who recorded it stop the recording and then resume when it was over, possibly out of respect for the prayer. That's actually what I would have done.

Well, it wouldn't surprise me if the prayer was cut out of malice, but it seems possible that it was cut to respect the private nature of prayer.

Coughlin is my new hero. The guy kneels and prays with his players? I love this cranky old dude!

In the secular world there is no God, hence no prayer. See Terence Jeffrey's Missing From MLK Memorial: God for another example.

The Giants didn't edit out the locker room prayer after their victory over the Patriots. I linked to it here: http://inigohicks.blogspot.com/2011/11/does-this-happen-in-every-nfl-locker.html

That they showed them getting on their knees to pray is good enough for me. Perhaps the prayer itself was of a more private nature (maybe a player has sick relative that was remembered in prayer or something). Let's be charitable until we know otherwise.

What is perhaps a more significant reflection of the malaise in American sports and moral culture is the fact that the Giant suck.
Opps. Did I say that?
Really. The only team from New York is Buffalo. Those two New Jersey teams carpet bagging for the Empire State should be ashamed.
