Despite the incident, Stroud told Complex that she is “not angry” about being censored. “I wish it wasn’t so, but I pray for people, and I think God calls us to love each other through our failures and successes, no matter how small or small,” he said. Told. “I just want to show love. We’re all not perfect as people, myself included. I follow the Lord, but I’m not perfect, so I try to be a light in dark times.” I am.”
“I think God called us to just be a light to each other and just show love,” the athlete added. “I just pray for people and have no malice or anger towards it. I wish I didn’t, but I’m just being myself all the time. I found Christ, and I’m just trying to get better, and I just want people to feel the love from God that I felt. So I don’t feel bad about it, It’s all about love.”
Donovan McNabb, who spent most of his NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles, called NBC’s censorship “inadequate” and “rude.”
On OutKick’s podcast “The Five Spot,” McNabb said NBC should “go back and… evaluate themselves.”
“You are the medium that should express, show and showcase the essence of these young people,” he said. “This is an opportunity for them, a platform for them to be able to get on stage and tell and show people who they are, and that’s what CJ Stroud is doing.”
“That’s why you hear so many athletes say, ‘I can use my platform to reach millions of people.'” They [NBC] This point needs to be corrected. Because that’s definitely not the direction we need to go in right now,” McNabb added.
