iPeeve #183

Pro athletes who think that god not only watches their sport, but also roots for their team and intervenes to help them win

This iPeeve was inspired by this article I saw the day of the Super Bowl:
Tampa's Sacred Heart Catholic Church is filled with Steelers fans. Saw a Terrible Towel being dipped in holy water.

And then listening to these players talk during pre-game, you wold think that god was a super linebacker who single handedly carried them into the Super Bowl.

Now, I could really care less what your belief system is, but anyone in their right mind can hear the absurdity in all this.

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that there definitely is a god...is he really taking Sunday's off to watch football? Doesn't that go against some commandment? And how is it that he seems to root for different teams every year?

Just a thought, but maybe he's got better things to do.
