When did God become a sports fan? – CNN.com

While in seminary in Fort Worth, TX, there was always a running joke about Texas Stadium, the former Dallas Cowboys stadium. ?The joke (even said from pulpits in the area) was “the reason why there is a ‘hole’ in the top of Texas Stadium is so that God can watch his favorite team!” (Insert rim shot here!) ?Seriously?! ?I know it is a joke and all, but does God truly care about sports?

Don’t you think that God is maybe a?little more concerned with the poor, the sick, the disenfranchised in this world? ?I mean, I am just as big of sports fanatic as it comes, but let’s not blame God for the current standings in the NL Central! ?The reason for the standings lies central on the players and managers of those teams!

Interesting article on “faith & sports” on CNN.com. ?It is definitely a good read.

What do you think? ?Does God really care about sports? Have we “trivialized” faith by “blaming God” for wins and loses? ?Is this kind of “evangelism” more of a turn-off than turn-on to people?
