Don't back down, coach.
Dawn Staley Is Not Apologizing For Her Comment On God

South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley is doubling down on some comments she made about people who don't believe in God the other day.
Following the Gamecocks' win over Oregon State in the Elite Eight, Staley thanked God as she so often does. But she then caused some people to bristle by declaring that "if you don't believe in God, something is wrong with you."
"God is really, he's really funny," Staley said earlier this week, via Jasone Pearson. "The devastating loss that we had last year, to put us back here with a totally different scene. If you don't believe in God, something is wrong with you, seriously."
A statement like that understandably made some people online upset. But Staley isn't planning to retract it any time soon.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Staley said that it's a figure of speech and if people can't appreciate that then they should listen to someone else speak. She declared that she will not apologize and will continue praising God as much as she wants.
"What if I said, ‘If you don’t watch women’s basketball, there’s something seriously wrong with you’? Staley said, via Beth Hoole of Fox Carolina. "Would you take it as threatening as somebody took the other [quote]? I mean, it’s a figure of speech, if you can’t comprehend that, then tune me out. Tune me out because I’m not here to offend anybody. That is not my make-up. That’s not my character; so if you’re just tuning in for one interview and you probably heard it from somebody else who heard it from somebody else and it’s hearsay, then you can have your take on it."
"I’m not apologizing. I’m not gonna apologize for what I said and what I feel because I know my life and I know why things have happened in my life; and I’m gonna salute God as much as I can because I know it’s not just my doing."

I doubt God gives two shits about basketball. Definitely not women’s basketball anyway.

OP, post this over on PoliRant. It should get the traction it deserves there.

I mean at some point the good guys in this world are just going to have to take a stand and stop apologizing for what they believe in.
The bad guys don’t ever seem to do it.
And I honestly believe most of us are the good guys (even Angry Kansas).

I mean, she's still a racist but maybe not beyond redemption.

I think there is a lot wrong with her.

Can’t believe there is something we agree upon with one another.

God is funny? Ok
This doesn’t change anything for me.

Calling God “funny”‘isn’t exactly praising Him.

I am glad someone is being open about God so sick of the woke people killing and destroying everything.
We all need God in our lives!

Or maybe not everyone believes the same thing as you, funny how Christians are all about loving their neighbor but as soon as said neighbor does something they don’t like you get a few of these people that piss themselves and get angry
