Christianity, not race, is the impetus for success for Super Bowl QBs Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes

Democrats, liberals, and the rest of the race-obsessed went apoplectic as soon as it became official that the Super Bowl would feature two black American quarterbacks for the first time. It was a repeated talking point among many pundits, talk show hosts, and other media throughout the country as if it were a major stepping stone in society. But the only people who care about this are the ones who continue to be disturbingly infatuated with skin color.
However, a bigger story, one in which the media and the Left seemingly did their best to censor from being an integral topic of discussion, is the religious faith of both quarterbacks.
‘SUPER BOWL MONDAY’ COULD REPLACE COLUMBUS DAY ON THE CALENDAR AS A HOLIDAY
Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts and Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes are devout Christians — yet hardly anyone would know this given the mainstream media’s reluctance to talk about it. At a time when the Left routinely ridicules and demonizes Christians in society, stars like Mahomes and Hurts embrace their faith as a source of strength and purpose.
“My Christian faith plays a role in everything that I do,” Mahomes said during an interview before the Super Bowl. “I mean, I always ask God to lead me in the right direction and let me be who I am for His name. So, it has a role in everything that I do, and obviously, He’ll be on a huge stage in the Super Bowl that He’s given me, and I want to make sure I’m glorifying Him while I do it.”
Additionally, Mahomes credited God with his performance and ability to make a pivotal play in the AFC Championship to get to this year’s Super Bowl.
“He healed my body this week to battle through that. He gave me the strength to be out here,” Mahomes said in a postgame interview with CBS Sports reporter Tracy Wolfson.
“God gave me the strength to run and get that first down and get us in field goal range,” Mahomes said during an interview last week.
Notice Mahomes mentioned God, not his race, ethnicity, diversity, equity, or inclusion. Mahomes said God’s gift propelled him to victory, not any left-wing, Democrat political virtue.
Jalen Hurts, the quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles, echoed similar comments and credited his faith and Christianity for his success. After the Eagles defeated the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship, Hurts quoted a biblical verse in a postgame conference when discussing the challenges he went through in life’s football journey to get to play in the Super Bowl.
“My favorite verse — you know, I went through a lot of stuff in college, and it kind of stuck with me — John 13:7: ‘You may not know now, but later you’ll understand,'” Hurts said. “Hopefully, people understand.”
Hurts reemphasized his dedication to Christianity in an article on CBS Sports.
“I’ve just matured and realized that God is everything, and He’s worthy of praise. You have to put Him at the center of everything that you do. That’s what I believe,” Hurts said to CBS Sports before the season. “All my spiritual wisdom, all of my wisdom as a whole, comes from Him, in some way, shape, or form. Whether that be passed down from my father, mother, or grandmother, I just think, in all the things that we experience in life, good, bad, or indifferent, you have to keep Him in the center.”
In a video for GQ Sports, Hurts proclaimed his devotion to Christianity and God as one of the things he does daily and cannot live without.
“It’s really important to me because I’m a man of God,” Hurts said in the video. “Waking up every morning and having a routine where I can gain some wisdom and learn His word and just walk by the Spirit. I strive to do that daily, and I challenge myself to spread that Word organically.”
But Hurts praising God wasn’t reported by the mainstream media. This was done purposely because the Left knew that if professional athletes received widespread attention for praising God and acknowledging their devotion to Christianity, it would influence the country’s youth and reverse the downward trend of Americans who believe in God.

Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts are two of the country’s premiere athletes, playing in the nation’s sporting event today. Both have had complex journeys getting to this point, and both credit God for their success. Neither of them, for a moment, mentioned any of the topics that Democrats raise daily for people, especially racial minorities, need to be successful.
But, in the end, both quarterbacks’ Christianity and faith were the impetus for their achievements. If Hurts’ and Mahomes’ messages get into the mainstream, it would discredit many, if not all, of the things the Left stands for. The Left knows this, and they do everything they can to hide it.
