`Born again' sportsmen

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, particularly when you write a weekly opinion column in a major paper.
I was taken aback by Rebecca Wilson's column in the Telegraph today, where she launched into golfer Aaron Baddeley for praising God when he wins, etc.
``I do have a big problem with born-again sportsmen who make it their life's work to spruik Christian beliefs like we are heathens in dire need of conversion,'' she writes.
As I said, everyone can have their opinion but it seems that Christians are safe game when it comes to this kind of thing.
It's a shame. And good on Baddeley for taking the opportunity when a microphone is shoved in front of him to give thanks to God - many wouldn't given the same opportunity.
