I loved playing football as a kid; and as an adult I wait with anticipation for the New
England Patriots NFL football games on TV.
The violence
doesn’t bother me; but, it is fucking aggravating to see a player make a
tackle, catch a ball or run for a touchdown then point up in the air like he is
dedicating his exploit to God’s graciousness.
This moron
doesn’t realize that during the three-hour duration of the game approximately
1,200 children died of diseases, 2,625 children died of starvation, 180 people
were raped, and 600 murders were being committed.
I think the
idiot is holding up the wrong finger. If
his God can get credit for a player’s athletic ability, He should also be
held responsible for the cruelty he permits in the world during the duration of
the game.

The really STUPID thing about football players pointing to heaven is that everyone knows God's a HOCKEY fan. He doesn't watch effin' football!
ReplyDeleteDebra nailed it.
ReplyDeleteThe egoism bugs the heck out of me. Do those players really believe that if there is a God that he/she/it would give a rat's patoot about what happens in a sport? If players said something thoughtful after the game about being grateful for being given a talent, that might not be as irritating, but the whole "thank you Jeebus!!" routine when they score? Disgusting.
The religious thing at football games has gone on for a long time, the thing I've been noticing lately is players in addition to pointing up to heaven or whatever is then they salute?? WTF is up with that?? I didn't like to salute when I was in the military, why would someone with no connection to the military want to salute and who or what are they saluting??
