Sports and Religion Go Way Back, But MSM Is Freshly Creeped Out About It

What on Earth is this journalist talking about?

He has led the Denver Broncos to one improbable victory after another—defying his critics and revealing the deep-seated anxieties in American society about the intertwining of religion and sports.

Deep-seated anxieties? Every post-game interview ever has some athlete giving the glory to God. Hasn't every football game ever ended with a bunch of large, sweaty bodies circled up and on bended knee in prayer? Haven't we prayed before high school football games since the Founding Era until just recently after the ACLU ceased to have anything to fill their time? Doesn't one of the most popular, iconic - and therefore televised - college football programs have a giant depiction of Jesus Christ overlooking their football stadium? Aren't religious schools disproportionately dominant in high school sports?

So, what the hell is Patton Wood talking about? Methinks he's talking about our Mainstream Media.

One last question. Wasn't Reggie White a Christian minister? Why did we not have all this hub-bub over Reggie? Ugh. The MSM is annoying.
