I like it when athletes thank Jesus for winning some sort of stupid sports thing, for a variety of hilarious reasons. I guess these guys think that they're the best Christians in the world, or that they just prayed way harder than anybody else, because apparently God picked them to win the game instead of all the other guys that were asking for it. You know, like what if a team from Georgia and a team from Alabama are playing against each other? I'd imagine you'd have a lot of guys from both sides praying over it. And if one guy says afterward that God helped him win the game, what does it say about those other guys? Sorry, guess God just doesn't love you as much.
But more importantly, it also implies that God cares about sports, which is funny in its own sort of way. Apparently, these guys have convinced themselves that God has a direct effect on the outcome of these games. Actually, that brings up another question. If God IS helping you win the game, how exactly is he going about doing that? Surely bad things happening to the opposing team would be pretty beneficial in that regard. So let's say you win the game because some guy on the other team fell and broke his leg during a critical play. Did God make that guy fall down and break his leg? That doesn't seem like the sort of thing God would do. I think he's more part of the "let's not hurt other people" contingent.
Unless of course all these guys believe in the Old Testament God, in which case, I totally understand. They aren't asking their loving God for guidance, they're begging their VENGEFUL God to PUNISH OTHERS with his LIMITLESS POWER. Okay never mind, that's awesome. Keep doing that.
