This weekend, tens of thousands of basketball fans — frankly, most of them screaming for Kentucky, those lunatics — will flock to Indianapolis to watch the NCAA Tournament Final Four. And they will accompanied by hundreds, maybe thousands of protestors. Despite terrific, iconic final four teams in Duke, Michigan State, Wisconsin, and undefeated Kentucky, the lead story on non-sports outlets is going to be about the protestors.

The blowback to Indiana's passing (and Gov. Mike Pence's signing) of a religious-freedom law has surpassed what anyone involved had anticipated. Pence himself looked shocked, bewildered, and a little lost while trying to defend it on morning shows over the weekend, and the controversy has instantaneously metastasized into a national drama, thanks to the tournament this weekend.

The tone of this sounds like Rabshakeh delivering Sennacherib's message to Judah, and in spirit like those who sent gifts to each other because the two witnesses spoken of in Revelation were dead.

There's no more obsequious progressive butt kissers than sports journalists.

LBGT rights my arse. How about conscientious Christian business owners? Do they have any rights?

The sports world would be nothing without a fan base.

Imagine every Christian refused to attend sports games or functions ?

Yes that's exactly what it is. And we must have the faith of Hezekiah.

I’d have to start going again to be able to do that. Otherwise, for me anyway, the point has been moot for years,

Never used Apple. Never will. My sister gave me an ipad because she didn't like it. I never used it.
Today, I squished it with my foot and tossed it in the garbage can so no one else would ever use it somehow.
No loss for me. Glad to see the stupid thing gone. Sick of looking at it on the dresser anyway. Noting but useless, ugly clutter.

Rid yourself of the idols of professional sports (and yes, college sports are professional—they just don’t pay the players in cash).

The media may make it the story, but virtually no one attending or watching the event will give a rat's rear end about it.

I was just thinking the same thing. Its time to destroy the “bronze thing”.

Why in the world would real men who follow “aggressive” sports care a whit about the queers? The sponsors may believe the threats they receive from the fascist gaystapo, but it seems like normal men would puke if a homo even tried to approach them let alone get them to join them in their quest for world domination.

All that'd be left is the Ole Miss fan base.
