Role of religion in college sports

There are soooooo many hours in the week and day where you aren’t playing football on public property with the public’s facilities to praise God/Jesus/Allah/whoever that I’m not a fan of it invading sports funded by taxes.

In celebration I say be free to thank who you want Tim Tebow style just don’t have prayers and such. My opinion.

 

So what you are saying is Judaism doesnt make you good at rock either. There's a reason why they call it the devil's music.

 

If I ever scored a touchdown, unlike those delusional players who point to the heavens, I'd point to myself, because I'm the one who did it

 

Ravi Shankar probably figured it out with being Hindu.

 

His singing voice was certainly an "acquired taste," and his performances for the last 10 years have sounded like Cookie Monster more than anything else, but Dylan wrote a ton of great songs.

 

Every missed tackle is god smiting the player for sin.

Our boys been naughty. They must been reading some of that CRT nonsense or dressing as cats.

 

That’s hilarious right there….you ain’t never scoring a touchdown.

 

Faith is powerful.

I think is faith is incredible for anyone who can find it. I have zero problems with faith being shared between our coach and the players who are open to the faith.

As long as other players aren’t punished morally or immorally, or directly or indirectly, by the coach or teammates.

If Napier encourages those who have faith bound to another book than his, all the more power to him.

But faith is a fickle treasure. Deploy it the wrong way, and it can backfire unrelentingly.

 

The Heisman's dont lie.

 

Ok, but I did get to second base with your mom

 

How all of a sudden has this come up? Was there a team baptism at Lake Alice I didn't hear about?

 

If it makes him a better coach, great. As long as I don’t have to hear about it. I haven’t heard him say anything religious so far.

 

I dunno, seems like an act of faith to believe that we are going to turn this trainwreck around

 

That is a great series

 

We have had a head FB coach named after the Pope that began the Crusades and a BB coach that wanted to open a very conservative Catholic HS in Gainesville. Four national titles between them. Plainly we need to hire Catholic coaches, although I wouldn't mind a more Pope Francis type.

Just having fun, though its true

 

Should have no role or place.

 

Tells me God only cares about QBs and a few RBs, other positions need to find a different deity

 

James Bates does a humorous bit imitating Spurrier as only he can where he has Spurrier telling his players (read this in Bates' Spurrier voice) "now y'all are saying too many F words - don't say that F word. Now a few Hells or Damns, or Shits are OK but don't say that F word". (or something like that)

 

Got no problem with the man living his faith 24/7. It's great if he uses his life as an example to the young men he is around every day. Would rather have that than to have a highly paid leader of men and representative of UF drunkenly driving his motorcycle thru campus with a red-headed coed in the bitch seat.
But if he becomes coercive with it or his brand of religion becomes a requirement for players or wins special favor (PT) with him, then that is wrong.
