"As a cheerleader at St. Alphonsus High School, before each game, we gathered in a circle and prayed a 'Memorare.' We prayed to win. Back then, most Catholics sent their children to Catholic schools, so there were enough schools in suburban Detroit to have Class A, B, C and D divisions.

Violent ground acquisition games such as football is in fact a crypto-fascist metaphor for nuclear war.
Does God have a favorite team?
That is a different question and the answer is probably not.
He is most pleased with the players who are doing His will but that is a different question then what you were asking.
Yes.
“For the Lord your God is a jealous God ... and Taylor Swift is starting to make him nervous ...”
The SB is such a big deal that I remember who won it 10 years ago..., no, wait,... 5 years ago,... uhhh, wait,... last year,... uhh,... I guess I just can’t remember.
I'll watch or listed on the radio if there's nothing else on and I don't have something better to do, but I cut the cord years ago so they don't get a penny out of me when I do watch.
I don’t know about whether God cares who wins. I can say I don’t.
Not really. Gods a Sabbatarian, you see.
Who turned this into an anti-pep rally?
Western Oklahoma is still like that. (I think the whole state is like that, but I'm not 100% sure.) I grew up in CT, and even 50 years ago it was not like that there.
It's nothing short of brutal out there.
Manipulating the outcome of any sporting event whether it’s point shaving, throwing a game, or divine intervention would be frowned upon by bookies everywhere. They take a dim view of others fixing games unless they’re the ones doing the fixing. I’d hate to be the one upsetting their betting lines. Those Italian Catholics can be a rough bunch.
The priest and the rabbi go to the fights. Before the first bell one fighter, Irish Paddy Murphy, genuflects and makes the Sign of the Cross. The rabbi asks the priest,
“ Will that help him?” The priest responded, “ Only if he can fight.”
Since every team in the National Faaggots League has bowed before the Globohomos and BLM then they are all going to Hell anyway, so no.
Run The ‘Race!’
The immortal Satchel Paige said: “Don’t go praying for rainy days unless you pray for sunny days too.” Reggie Jackson said: “Please Lord let me hit a homerun, I’ll tell them you did it. Those two quotes pretty well sums it up for me.
“Violent ground acquisition games such as football is in fact a crypto-fascist metaphor for nuclear war.”
“The object in football is to march downfield and penetrate enemy territory, and get into the end zone; in baseball, the object is to go home! “I’m going home!”
And, in football, they have the clip, the hit, the block, the tackle, the blitz, the bomb, the offense and the defense; in baseball, they have.. the sacrifice.”
George Carlin, or course.
Nailed it.
No and neither do I.
Its over priced entertainment and that is it.
Only when He bets on it.
You will know if God has a bet going, if the ball gets hit by lightning while in the air.
