It's no difference than saying if you don't like what's on TV, change the channel.
You can't have your cake and eat it, too.

Batman said:This is something that's crossed my mind a few times this football season. After football games, when the whole team is huddling up for the team prayer and you're waiting for them to break so you can get quotes, has anyone ever joined in?
Sometimes I'll wander too close to the huddle and am close enough to grab a hand or put one on a shoulder when the prayer starts...

Exactly. If you're so close that somebody's going to grab your hand and compel you to be involved in their postgame prayer, you need to back up a few steps and get out of the damn way. When they break the circle, then move in and get your interviews.
