Played basketball with your dad and your uncle John back in the day in West Seneca and knew your mom. I’d like to believe that being raised in Western New York (Buffalo and the surrounding area) by humble, hard working people gifts us with a certain level of humility and perspective.

That's pretty awesome that you saw that and YOU changed it. I think that's absolutely amazing. A lot of people don't step outside of themselves and see the problem or try to make themselves better people. It's a great thing to put your inner being first instead of your outer being. You became a better man for stepping away. :)

You don't need to impose your personal religious views on his message

Anderson is christian tho, i think everyone on usa is. I'm atheist but I'll honestly say I think that volleyball in the U.S. is a mostly Christian sport.

0207xander no I don't need too but I did because I can! If you don't like it that's your issue not mine nor his.

Grant Dvorak I'm sure one day people will understand that being Christian means we believe in God, The Father, Son, Holly Spirit. That does not make God a religion nor has He ever been. I hope you believe in a higher power. Now that The USA will have their own league it will be great. There are many volleyball player's worldwide who believe in God not just USA player's. Thank you for your kindness respect and showing your not s bigot I appreciate that very much.

0207xander if you don't like it don't read it. I know him so I'll say what ever I would like. It is you who needs to attempt to impose what you know nothing of.
