Why don't Premier League players express their faith openly like the NFL players?

[emir]

As I watched the Superbowl few days ago, the MVP of the match Cooper Kupp stepped up to the interview and praised God for the victory and also claimed that God gave him the vision 3 years ago that one day he will win the Superbowl. It's very common for NFL players to reference God in their interviews and how the Lord helped them through the struggles.

Premier League, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. I never hear references to God or anything like this in any interviews. Is this because they are instructed not to bring it up or is it that Premier League players are less religious? There are loads of Brazilians and Africans who play in the Prem, but I don't really hear any reference to God, even from the Muslim players.

Here is another example:

Get on Twitter and ask the players, not us.

I often appeal to God during our matches.

"For God's sake! Pass it to the BLUE shirts!!!"

God doesn't exit anymore. It's all about goods now.

I've seen loads of players bless themselves when they come on as a sub or at the beginning of a match. Isn't that expressing their faith?

 

[Papa Shango]

Probably more to do with the location rather than the sports...

 

[woodsyni]

Didn't someone 'out' this fella with a Kopite post on twitter?

Not in interviews though . That's the point.
