No Sporting Events!

[Willie T]

12 Reasons I Don’t Go to Sporting Events Anymore
1. Every time I went, they asked me for money.
2. The people sitting in my row didn’t seem very friendly.
3. The seats were very hard.
4. The coach never came to visit me.
5. The referees made a decision I didn’t agree with.
6. I was sitting with hypocrites—they only came to see what others were wearing!
7. Some games went into overtime and I was late getting home.
8. The band played some songs I had never heard before.
9. The games are scheduled on my only day to sleep in and run errands.
10. My parents took me to too many games when I was growing up.
11. Since I read a book on sports, I feel that I know more than the coaches, anyway.
12. I don’t want to take my children because I want them to choose for themselves what sport they like best.

Do these reasons sound familiar?

Lol, this is why the droves of C & E christians tell themselves not to go to Church.

Who's going to say this in the morning?

I will stick with number 5 as referees give away many penaltys I disagree with and i cannot question them with the official referees handbook after the match as they leave the field through the important door as they are the authority.

You could always make a mid-week appointment. In fact I think that's a good idea as a way to check out a new Church, see them when nobody's around. I can learn what a place is really about much more quickly that way.

If these were really excuses for not going to games, I'd be laughing my fool head off. Very funny! Since we're not talking about sporting events, it's sad but true for most people.

Very clever analogy! You made me laugh. You made me cry.

I've never been to a professional sporting event in my life. We talked about going to an Avalanche game before but never did.

NHL players skate FAST! Nothing like it in Church (or anywhere else, for that matter)

On their way back to their cars so they can catch the kickoff?

Lol, no not that fast but some do seem to give it a good effort

Great analogy and still praying for a Church in my area that will teach me and not preach at me or tickle my ears. I miss our last Church.

 

[HeIsRisen2018]

Well I do go to sporting events because I really enjoy them so none of those reason apply to me lol Of course I've only really been to baseball games before and I'm not sure whether or not BMX would be classified as a sport, although I think it is.

Four of my kids are graduates of a Christian college with a really good soccer program. None of them played there but we have all enjoyed watching the games when possible.
