Subject: The Pastor Quits Sports---Why?
Football in the fall. Basketball in the winter. Baseball in the spring and summer. I like sports, but I've had it! You can't get me near one of those places again. Want to know why?
- Every time I went, they asked me for money.
- The people with whom I had to sit didn't speak to me or seem friendly.
- The seats were too hard and uncomfortable.
- I went to many games, but the coach never came to call on me.
- The referee made a decision with which I could not agree
- Many were hypocrites - they only came to see what others were wearing.
- Some games went into overtime, and I was late getting home.
- The band played some numbers that I had never heard before.
- It seems that the games are scheduled when I want to do other things.
- I was taken to too many games by my parents when I was growing up.
- I read a book on coaching, and I'm convinced the coach is not in the right profession.
- I don't want to take my children to any games, because I want them to choose for themselves what sport they like best.
