quicklist: title: Kansas City Chiefs Player Flagged for Prayer text:

Kansas City Chiefs' safety Husain Abdullah, a devout Muslim, was penalized 15 yards for "unsportsmanlike conduct" after he kneeled in prayer. He had run 39 yards to the end zone in the fourth quarter.

While it isn't clear what "unsportsmanlike conduct" the referee was flagging, Abdullah speculated to the Kansas City Star that the referee may not have liked that he slid on both knees.

On Tuesday morning, a spokesman for the NFL told ABC News that Husain Abdullah "should not have been penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct following his fourth quarter touchdown."

The NFL's Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1 (d) states "players are prohibited from engaging in any celebrations or demonstrations while on the ground," according to a statement by Brian McCarthy of the NFL.

"However, the officiating mechanic in this situation is not to flag a player who goes to the ground as part of religious expression, and as a result, there should have been no penalty on the play," McCarthy said in his statement.
