Ive been doing alot of research on religion in sports, xiantity in particular and it's been a fascinating and scary thing to read on. Also on the psychology of of some of these teams xianity + aggressiveness and being rewarded for "killing em' out there on the field" i have nothing against sports at all i think its fun if you arent an insane fan who would cry over a loss and obsess over it. here are some very scary and deranged quotes taken from ESPN website on the topic
"Religion loves to borrow from sports, especially as fodder for sermons ("There is no waaaa-aaay that Jeeee-sus could ever be stopped short of the goal line!"); and sport loves to borrow from religion (The Hail Mary, The Holy Roller, Kamir Gbaja-Biamilia's frequent references to God during his Pro Bowl interview, to name just three examples)."
"I think God wants you to be a winner in life, and that spills over into athletics," the Rev. Jerry Falwell told me a few years ago. "If kicking butts is part of it, that's part of it. Jesus was no sissy. If he played football, you'd be slow getting up after he tackled you."
THIS IS SICK! ive been reading about this involved in highschool and middleschool sports as well and some of these coaches are taking kids who some are atheist or from other beliefs to churches for team meetings! I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
HAIL SATAN!

) I was wanting to play basketball. So, I signed up and the location was not yet decided. even at the young age of six I had no intention of including myself in xtian bullshit. So, it was officially a let down when the location was a church. I kinda just went with it and on the second day of the meet, they wanted to start a prayer. As a six year old I went along with it. Now that we bring this topic up it kinda pisses me off to see that those sick xtians just have to include thereselves in everything!!! It's probably even worse now.
