Penn State University’s D. J. Dozier knelt and prayed after scoring in the 1987 Fiesta Bowl.  Dozier’s action touched-off instant criticism.

Coming to Dozier’s defense, R. D. Lashar, placekicker for the state champion Plano HS Wildcats, said, “Before and after each place kick, I kneel and pray.  The day someone tells me I can’t pray is the day I don’t play!  It’s a free country.”

Mark Roberts wrote, “Personally, I find it refreshing to see someone do something besides a silly dance and parading around, flaunting an oversized ego.”  ~ Mark Link, S.J.
