Religion in sports today is very prominent from players pointing to the sky any time they do something good to group prayers after games. There is increasingly the customary, "giving all praise to God,,,"/etc. at the onset of any interview. Some players go as far to imply that there is a higher explanation for them winning or losing.
When it comes to religion/prayer and sports, I would ask, does your team win because you/your fans pray or live right more so than any other team? Further, does God really give a hoot about who wins a worthless football game as opposed to something like, say, rather or not a female is raped walking down the street or there is enough rain to grow sufficient crops in some country where people's lives depend on growing their own food and/or raising their own cattle for food?
Take Grambling and ASU for example. Would you say that the reason Grambling won the SWAC Championship was because they have more players who are truely saved than does Alabama State? Ok,,,, so what if the number of truely saved on GSU and ASU's teams were equal, then what's the tie breaker? who is more sincere or who sinned most recently and did not ask for forgiveness? Further,, are we to assume that since GSU and ASU got to the championship that those teams have the moe-est truely saved individuals on their teams??
