Controversy After NFL Player Does Muslim Prayer In Game, See How The League Reacts Recently, Kansas City Chiefs player Husain Abdullah made headlines after he was penalized for performing a Muslim prayer on the field. After making a touchdown against the New England Patriots, the player took to both knees. Now, some critics are comparing the display to Tebowing, the action taken by Tim Tebow after he does something incredible on the field. Tebow has been openly Christian both on and off the field, and has often received criticism for it. Some are comparing him to Husain Abdullah, who is known for being an openly Muslim NFL player. In fact, Abdullah once missed an entire seasons so that he could make a pilgrimage to Mecca. But his public display was not well-received by the organization. His moment of prayer resulted in a flag being thrown for unsportsmanlike behavior. A 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty was given out as a result. The NFL was following a rule that prohibits players from engaging in any celebrations while on the ground. What do you think? Did Abdullah deserve to be penalized for his actions?
