Why my friend's brother is rooting for the Wash. Redskins...

[yorkiemommie1]

" Because the coach is a Christian."

My friend is a very religious woman and ( I think she's a bushie ) BUT even she finds this line of reasoning irrational.

1. So are all the other coaches.

The NFL is a haven for fundies and the religiously insane.

12. me, i don't know anything about sports

so i just listened jaws dropped.

[Bill McBlueState]

2. ask this:

Which NFL coaches are not Christian? If they're anything like the general population, all but three or four subscribe to that religion.

What religion is Mike Holmgren?

3. What does that say about God? Isn't HE enough to help the guy win

the big game?

[frylock]

4. why i am rooting for that team from dc..

I picked them to go to the Super Bowl!

NE Pats - 38
Washington - 26

Hail Victory! !!

5. In the words of the immortal Hunter S. Thompson...

regarding the '70's-era Offensive Epithets, "Any team with both God and Nixon on its side is fscked from the start."

CAW! CAW! CAW!

Is it just as irrational for me to root against any team that has a prominent fundie (coach or player), say Florida St. or Georgia as well as the Epithets?

6. That's just silly

You root for the team you like. :eyes:

7. She must really be glued to the set when they're playing the Lions, then.

:dunce:

[GOPisEvil]

8. So what happens when Washington plays a team coached by another

Christian? Is there some sort of Ecumenical Coin Flip? Do you cheer for the team coached by the guy who went to church most recently? Is it Denominational?

I don't get people. I really don't.

[FreedomAngel82]

11. LOL

Really.

[CatWoman]

9. I'm rooting for the Redskins

and yes, I worship at the Temple of Gibbs.

[mzteris]

10. Of course that helps

'cause you KNOW how much GOD just LOVES football! He is sooooo concerned about who is winning the game.

Everyone knows HE helps those guys run faster and tackle better. That "other team" that is praying and saying "Hi Mom" and "I thank God and Jesus for helping me score that TD" are just a bunch of liars or else they're just doing it (loving God) all wrong.
