Skip Bayless stirred up a debate on Wednesday by criticizing Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter for choosing to be baptized on the morning of a game instead of focusing on pregame preparations.
Bayless suggested that Hunter wasn’t fully committed to his team, claiming his decision showed a lack of focus on football. He implied that Hunter’s limited playing time may have led him to prioritize other aspects of life.
Hunter defended his choice, explaining that he had planned the baptism for some time and wanted to change his life and become a better man.
Despite Bayless questioning Hunter’s focus, the rookie’s talent and personal life responsibilities, like his recent fatherhood, show his attention is divided.
