National Day of Prayer controversy

In light of the National Day of Prayer Controversy, and the President refusing to observe it, I reminded myself of this clip from last year's event, promoted by the premier analyst in American motorsport, promoting the National Day of Prayer in a promotional video. A few years ago, he referenced the day specifically on a broadcast itself.

Sometimes you wonder what whould have happened if Martin Brundle had referenced such a religious day on the BBC for an F1 broadcast, or if Sam Posey, Bobby Unser, or Sir Jackie Stewart had referenced such a day at Indy. Imagine the outroar of any top-level sports analyst had promoted such a day. Some criticism of this Fox sportscaster is related to his blatant promotion of this day. ◙
