WXYZ — Jim Harbaugh made his first public comments since the COVID-19 pandemic has changed our daily lives.
A featured guest on childhood friend Jay Nordlinger's podcast, Harbaugh spoke on a variety of subjects, including hope that football returns, how they are currently operating on a daily basis, how younger people view life a bit differently than the older generations, but the conversation ended on a controversial note.
"I think this group, this younger generation, those in their teens and early 20s, they see more about the world as a whole and think less about themselves and more about the planet and the environment and others," Harbaugh said. "I have to honestly say much more than those of us who grew up in the '80s. That era, that decade seems marked more by individualism.
"Even now, as we all go through what we're going through with COVID-19, I see people more concerned about others. More prayerful. As I said, God has virtually stopped the world from spinning. I don't think it's coincidence — my personal feeling, living a faith-based life, this is a message or this is something that should be a time where we grow on our faith for reverence and respect for God. You see people taking more of a view of sanctity of life. And I hope that can continue. I hope that continues and not just in this time of crisis or pandemic.
"And lastly, abortion, we talk about sanctity of life, yet we live in a society that aborts babies. There can't be anything more horrendous."
