My pastor loves preaching about the absurdity of our culture's love affair with sports, and I agree 100 percent with everything he says. Sports are idolatrous. They are stupid and silly. But don't blame us for writing about them. We're just trying to sell papers.
Nothing can be further from the truth.
In my personal experience, I prayerfully considered what direction I should pursue upon graduation from high school and then from college. At each step, I felt a definite leading of the Lord to pursue the career in which I am involved today. Believe it or not, God even chose my graduate school for me.
