Regardless of whether or not Goldy was making fun of Penn StateâÄôs Hayes for praying pre-game, Hayes was obviously ignoring part of his religionâÄôs holy book, namely Matthew 6: âÄúAnd when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your father, who is unseen.âÄù Steve Thompson University staff
