Whether it is a church or any public gathering makes no difference to me. I do not claim discrimination against the church in particular, rather I am exasperated by the pettiness of the NFL, whose actions in this case and others like it would seem to do more harm than good to its image.

There are quite a few stories out there about this issue, and discerning the truth can be difficult. But the original story in the Indianapolis Star (which can be accessed on the site I reference above) has the following quotes, some of which are from the horse’s mouth of an NFL spokesperson (so to speak):

“Churches in Indiana and across the country are scrapping traditional Super Bowl viewing parties in wake of the NFL

When you factor that in, the whole chrisitan argument on this issue falls appart into foolishness.

But please don’t let the facts get in the way of your argument.

Pirate Away!
