In my honest opinion worldly pleasures like a football game have no business in a Church.

I agree. Christ did not die so we could watch the Super Bowl.

No. He died so that the Panthers could beat the point spread and I could win $50. BTW, I think MTV and CBS should be nailed for this stunt but this Christian cr@p on the thread is equally ludicrous...However, I'll wait for that pithy Bible verse to support your position.

I agree the football game should not be shown in the sanctuary/place of worship. But if there is another building/room available at the church location I think it is fine. Many churches invite high school/young adults to come watch the super bowl at their church (not in the santuary) so that they have a good clean environment to enjoy the game. What are their options? They could go to a "Super Bowl Party" where beer and alcohol are served. Or stay home with parents who serve alcohol. The Church is just giving them a good healthy alternative.
