For years, Christian athletes (especially those at the professional level) have been plagued by the notion that their faith inherently makes them \u201csoft\u201d or perhaps less interested in winning than their non-religious teammates.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve talked to many professional athletes about this idea and the responses have been fairly uniform. I\u2019ll share some of those thoughts in the near future (as well as comments from Lance Berkman, Albert Pujols, Jeremy Affeldt and others) in my personal response to the question, but for the next few days, I want to hear from you.<\/p>\n
