The intersection of prayer and sports has been especially prominent in the aftermath of Damar Hamlin's frightening collapse during an NFL game.
All 32 NFL teams have included "Pray for Damar" on their Twitter avatars. ESPN's Dan Orlovsky prayed for the Buffalo Bills' safety on live TV. Countless fans and other concerned observers said on social media they were praying, and dozens linked arms outside his Cincinnati hospital.
On Friday, the 24-year-old Hamlin was breathing on his own and able to talk after having his breathing tube removed, his agent said. Doctors described Hamlin's neurological function as "excellent" Saturday. Afterward, Orlovsky told the AP in a text: "It was on my heart. The more we pray, the more Damar may come out of it."
"My greatest fear flashed in front of me in the moment but for the goodness and grace of God, Damar is still here," Vincent told the AP in a text. Jeffrey Scholes, associate professor of religious studies at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, said he hasn't seen such a public outpouring of prayer in any sport.
