Why are we considering the view points of 19-20 year olds who happen to play a sport?
When I was 19-20 and smart enough not to play a sport that scrambles your brain, I did not get a news article in the national press reporting that I did believe in space.
America worships the wrong people.
Worships? Dude... This article is basically making fun of him for being a dumbass. That's the entire story. Dumb fuck said dumb thing.
If I had to register a guess, OP was probably (or hopefully) basing their comment on how sports like Football and Baseball have traditionally been viewed in the U.S., and possibly Futbol (Soccer) pretty much everywhere else. Whatever he based it off of, I can say there is just a bit too much funding and weight that goes into sports in Highschool and many Colleges. While dumb comment be dumb, it is certainly true that many people do place obscene amounts of importance on sports in general. For schools it's often to the fundamental detriment of educational curriculums.
I'm not really trying to defend OP. Just pointing out that from what little I have grasped, one is almost seen as a cultural outcast in some professions if they don't "talk sports", for example, and the stories I've heard of people found wearing the wrong team colors, wild. It's all a bit silly, tbh.

The mere fact that he is being talked about in this regard is annoying. Who the fuck cares about this person. What he believes is not a matter of national interest.
It's a stupid little fluff piece about somebody saying something so stupid it's funny. It's not like it's a massive story. The news has always been like this. Giant earthbreaking news and then stupid little fun fluff pieces.
Stop trying to make it some deep societal issue dude.

Oh no, he figured out the sky is just a crusty jpeg!
Deploy the Illuminati agents.
Gotta love the marriage between tramatic brain injuries and an under funded education system.

How did he pass any of his science courses?
"This is some big shot of the football team. He's not a C student. Grade again."
Source: TA'd at a prestigious west coast Uni with a good football team.

This guy's ignorance probably extends to not knowing anything about Buzz Aldrin's religious communion on the Moon.
Texas Tech? Checks out.
Dont hold it against him, this rambling wreck might make a heck of an engineer someday.
Me thinks this is the effect of too much head trauma.
People say he broke his brain using his head to tackle with. Course, couldn't have been too smart to do that in the first place.
Well he obviously wasn't picked for his intellect.
I don't believe there is anything in the space between his ears.
I volunteer him for the Mars colony.
Doesn't this just tell us something about his university? They are obviously not doing that much in the way of teaching their football players.
I think it says something about the elementary school he went to. University education is advanced past the point of teaching basic concepts. Most kindergarteners are aware of the concept of space. We have all heard little kids say that they want to be an astronaut when they grow up.

Does he believe all matter exists at a single point?
We exist in a diarama.
He surely won't mind if we shoot him into the outer part of "that in which he doesn't believe" then.
Some people just shouldn't be part of society.
ain't gotta have the smarts to play the foosball
Then how does Tyler explain Space Jam? Check mate atheists!
“Im real religious” , is not an excuse to ignore scientific fact.
Oh, yes it is.
That rustles my jimmies.
it's evidently enough excuse to ignore whatever facts you wish.
I see you haven't met any governors from Florida lately.
