Is OKC the only arena that prays before the game?

**Westbrook0** · 04-27-2012, 10:26 PM

The Thunder have a different local pastor each game get on the PA system and pray with the audience before each game.

Are there any other NBA teams (or pro teams of any sport for that matter) that do this, or is OKC the only one?

Really?

I didn't know that. You Americans

I just pray I can use the phrase "Where's your God now?" if they get knocked out of the playoffs.

Not everyone has enough time to squander talking to their imaginary friend for 30 seconds a night.

Well I know the MCG in Melbourne is getting prayer rooms, which isn't much better...

**EvanW** · 04-27-2012, 10:35 PM

Who cares. I'm not even a religious person. Those OKC fans love the f*ck out of their team and that's all that matters.

Huh? I have no idea why they would do that. Source?

I do not know a single person who goes to church/actively follows a religion in Australia.. those rooms will turn into toilets or a bar within 6 months. Book it.

Edit:

"Houli, a Muslim himself, said fellow Muslims had to pray in the car park at some venues, which was less than appealing."

So it's for the Muslims.. Melbourne and it's multiculturalism

I love being American... except in embarrassing situations like this...

So I guess in OKC the Jewish, Islamics, Atheists, Agnostics, Buddhists, Hindus and other differing faiths/non-faiths who want to enjoy the game have to have it rudely interrupted by an arrogant Christian religious ceremony, is that how they roll in OKC?
