Hey Y'all,
Today I am going to write a short post speaking out against the South's Number 2 Religion, Professional Football (SEC Football is number 1). This upcoming Lord's Day, in many churches across the nation pastors will be preaching "Super Bowl Related" "sermons", church services will be re-scheduled so their members can watch 22 young men defile the Sabbath and be praised for it. God's day will be blasphemed because churches and clergy care more about membership numbers and being "culturally relevant" instead of serving the Lord. Watching football for 3 hours on a Saturday is bad enough, but going to the lengths commonly practised by many evangelical churches today is down right wrong. If you have never considered the ramifications of these above actions, I urge you to consider them now. The church is in bad enough shape today, even without the frivolous and ungodly wastes of time Christians consume themselves with.
Deo Vindice.

Great point.
Personally, I despise the NFL. NFL owners treat their players like so many horses- buying, selling, trading.
Shoot me an email sometime. When are you coming to AL?
You are right and speaking from a principled position, RG. God bless you, Grandson.
Love,
Grandmother, who hopes
you will get around to

Georgia!
I didn't even know it was coming up. :) Shows you how much I follow football!
I had a guy tell me I needed to watch the Super Bowl this year since I never have, but I don't really feel the need to do that. :)
Panem et Circi, indeed. Well said, sir.
Football has successfully stripped men of their natural desire to defend their people by venting all those mental processes of family and home into easily identifiable colors and cities (e.g. Kansas City - Red - home team).
The brutish nature of the game easily replaces the primal necessity in man to throw themselves into harm's way in place of a loved one.
It is a "manly" thing to watch football; it is a "manly" thing to drink beer while watching football; it is a "manly" thing to put foam wedges of cheese on one's head and a giant foam finger on one's hand while drinking beer and watching football.
Nonsense.
Now, men, falsely so called, are more concerned with "them Cowboys" than with the only God and their only country.
Defending the honor of their team overrides the desire to defend the honor of their family. Ensuring bragging rights supersedes ensuring their own freedom. Wearing those team colors is of greater importance than standing up to thugs in government.
There is nothing wrong with the game at all, only with those who sacrifice their lives and souls to it.
If you really want to relax and live the good life, men, sure your salvation, steady your nerve with a firearm, and love your family.
Thank you, RG for having the courage to post on a topic that is certainly a difficult and controversial issue.

Amen. I think Son3 put it quite well. Please don't stop posting!
Amen!
Question:
Wouldn't your admonitions in this post also apply to those who participate in or watch any kind of sport, not just football, on Sunday?
I have many friends who have no problem playing (officially or otherwise), practicing, and or watching sports on Sundays.What would you say to people who do? Our family will not do so and we are looked upon as odd for it.
Y'all,
Thanks for the comments!

--- My personal opinion is it is defiling the Lord's day that was set apart for service to, and worship of our Lord. While it may be less blatant than the clear defiling of worship services with sports, it is still the same in essence.
