I share your sentiments, but I'm not gonna go quite that far..........you may want to consider pumping the brakes a time or two.
Actually nice to see some analytical people that deal with reason and process thought like they have functioning brain. Well might have to check that..............it is Sunday night so the dumb ones are in church singing and holding hands right now. They'll be here soon enough to stupid this thread up a bit.
I too saw it as more of a sign of respect than it being a mass display of dumb carried out by 80 superstitious dummies.
I still like Glenn Parker's thoughts on sports and God/religion. It was right after some really good game we had when he was here. He told the story in an interview about how after the game one of his teammates came up and said to him something along the lines of "you can't tell me God didn't have some thing to do with that win" His comments were something like "yeah God blew off all the starving children and victims of war that day to come and watch over a bunch of millionaire athletes play a kid's game." My thoughts and commentary would be somewhere real close to his.
