It’s football season again. Love College more than Professional, but I’ll take a good game in either. As I was watching numerous games this weekend I found myself creating a mental list comparing the average football fan and the average Christian. It is an interesting comparison.
The average football fan will:
1. Wear their team colors and logo with a T-shirt and/or baseball hat.
2. Fly those little flags from the car windows.
3. Put bumper stickers on their cars and one of those metal license vanity plates.
4. If attending the game at the stadium will arrive about an hour before the game, sit on a hard metal bench in a space too small for any human being in all sorts of weather – heat, rain, cold, snow, etc.
5. Spend a small fortune for their tickets, some even seasonal packet of tickets, as well as food from the concession stands.
6. Some fans will follow their team on away games by driving long hours or flying overnight and stay at an expensive hotel.
7. If their team is a college team they will pay the Booster Club a large sum of money for the privilege of purchasing their game day tickets.
8. They will stand for most of the game and cheer until they can hardly speak.
9. Fly a team flag from the house flagpole.
10. Speak to total strangers about their team and why their team is the best in the nation.
11. They will postpone, re-schedule or include out-of-town guests if the game is on.
12. And never, ever complain about any of this.
Now, how does this compare to the average Christian?
