Travis Hunter’s Baptism On Morning Of Game Prompts Sharp Rebuke From Skip Bayless

Skip Bayless is back, and he's upset with a young athlete making positive choices in his life. This week’s focus? Travis Hunter, who underwent baptism before a game against the Seahawks. Bayless expressed confusion over Hunter’s decision to seek baptism on game day morning, particularly leading up to a 1:00 PM kickoff.In a lengthy 28-minute video posted on his X account, Bayless criticized Hunter’s choice to seek spiritual blessings just hours before playing. He claimed that Hunter hasn’t received adequate playing time, particularly on defense, prompting concerns about his engagement and focus.Bayless speculated that Hunter seemed to have lost interest, implying that his decision to be baptized reflected a lack of concentration on football. He noted that although Hunter wasn’t late or benched as a result of this choice, it indicated a disconnection from the game. If Hunter had excelled that day, one might imagine Bayless would have sought baptism himself.
