I’m seeing way too much mixing of Christianity and sports.  But it’s been going on for quite some time.  Maybe ever since the NFL started playing games on Sunday.  But somehow its seems to rear it’s ugly head everytime in Bible class when someone mentions that some sports team won in response to listing good things that happened this past week.

I get a blank look on my face when a preacher or Bible class teacher makes a sports reference.  Many times I don’t get it because I don’t know the rules of said sport.

This photo of a Sea Hawks display during mass sums up the frivolousness of sports fans.  The crucifix showing Jesus’s agony of dying on the cross is overshadowed by the contemporary savior – that is the 12th man cheering for their team.

“Go Hawks” ?  Would Jesus be a Sea Hawks fan? If a fan of an opposing team were to visit would they be welcomed?  Sports can draw wedges between us.

This video pretty much sums it up.  Sports matter so little in the grand scheme of things.
