The "sports world" is not what the writers think it is. Only a minority of Americans follow sports at all, and fewer yet will care what a bunch of jockstraps say about civic issues.

The sports world isn’t going to crush Christian rights. These are left-wing universities doing their usual thing.

When alumni donations dry up, we’ll see what they really think.

Imagine every Christian refused to attend sports games or functions ?

Should have happened decades ago; it was clear then that sports were a means to keep people away from God rather than bring them closer. NO CHRISTIAN SHOULD EVEN OWN A TELEVISION though. I got rid of mine when I was in my twenties, and have lived a much fuller life as a result.

The people in control are not in it for the money. They are in it for the power. If the NCAA, NASCAR, or any other such corporation loses ticket revenue it doesn’t matter. They make more money with ad revenue and sponsors. The ones buying the tickets are a product sold to those paying for the ads.

That is also why they are moving to destroy small businesses, especially those who support Christians. The customers will buy from anyone if it is the only person selling.

Just announce a Christian strike for one weekend and then see if they still hate Christians and if the butt crowd can carry the load of a near empty stadium. That would take all the fun out of power bullying.

Far too many Christian fan(atic)s are just as apt to worship their team and it's core of players as they are to actually worship Christ - and with far more zeal.... sad state of our society when people need someone else's success to feel like they can succeed - liberal tenets flow through the whole sports meme.

Correct. NASCAR needs a Chick-FilA-ing.
