Americans paying attention to football is just... weird.

When did all footballers become faux-religious? I mean, the Italitards have always been big on the substitution cross, but British and even Danish players now "praying" for that poor Bolton player?

It's clear that these adulterous, alcoholic, overpaid fuckers aren't religious, but why feel the need to say you pray for someone?

When did open showcasing of religiousness start to be honest?

I don't know, was it ever? I just noticed it happening more.

I don't think you need to be very religious to use language like 'praying' or even to try praying with what happened yesterday.  I'd say you need to be more anti-religious not to.

My Grandfather played Soccer professionally.  It's a family secret we keep for fear of ostracization. It's roughly equivalent to a European admitting there are Jews in the family tree.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Indeed.

Yeah, praying is a figure of speech, doesn't actually mean they're literally praying to some imaginary sky monster.

Pretty weird stuff that.
