There are millions of Seventh-day Adventists in many parts of the world. They worship God in places such as Chad, Russia, Sweden, Canada, Mexico, India, Australia, China, Peru, and Namibia. For fans of American football this was a tough week.
American football is an unforgiving sport.
Most of the time, people are valued for what they do on the field, not for what they are as a person. Causing injuries, bad temper, poor relationships, and a total lack of moral decency is ok when touchdowns are made and games won. Players that fall into these categories include blacks, Hispanics, whites, and a myriad of other races. Players come from rich and poor backgrounds, educated and lacking education. In virtually all situations it is what happens on the field that counts, not who they are as a person.
