Pal there are no religious lessons to be learned in playing sports. There are life lessons possibly but not religious ones.
Now Coach Vince Lombardi was a very religious man but his credo was “Winning” and he did not tolerate losing.
Now if your religious views color everything you do that is your choice but that means you have trouble pulling back and looking at things in logical frame of mind at times.
Well you and I will just to agree to disagree on this basketball game.
I am a little more worried about the Economic Collapse of the country and the Big Picture than a girls basketball game of lopsided proportions.
Also because of all of this blown out of proportion publicity we have a coach fired, one school now giving up playing altogether and those poor girls feeling and being humiliated, both sides, because we have made this little deal into a big deal with National Publicity bringing on scorn and ridicule.
Now just how does God and Jesus feel about that and the rank Hypocrisy that all this has brought about???????

For what it is worth, the economic collapse of the country is tied directly to the lesson to be learned from this fiasco. Corporate greed and the "win at all costs" attitude that has permeated the corporate world over the last 50 years has resulted in the collapse of our economy. Big companies were busy using leveraged money to finance takeovers of smaller companies and driving their competition into the ground and now they are "too big to fail" and without bailouts, all of us are going to lose.
Covenant had that same attitude. They were not merely satisfied with winning, but they had to dominate, they had to humilate their opponent and literally crush their spirits. Ultimately their own greed was their downfall. Winning is not the "only thing". Fighting the "good fight" is the most important lesson in sports and in business.
Read Collosians.
