The Fix is in (Pro Sports)

When the NFL was sued by fans after deflate gate that successfully argued in court that they were a SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT company and not a sports league. As Sports Entertainment it was not against the law to have pre scripted games, the courts agreed and ruled in the NFL’s favor. (This is a quote,)

This is one of the reason why I love high school football. Our guys in our town against your guys in your town and may the best team win. Although, we have heard stories even in high school sports of problems.

Rankings September 11, 2023

For years, I have encouraged teams to pray before games for the safety of the players.  I knew that standing on the sidelines, you can be injured also, but never heard of someone dying from a hit on the sidelines until this week.

A photographer was hit on the sidelines during a JV game in Wichita and hit her head on some concrete and died several days later at the hospital. What a sad situation. Our thoughts are with the family and the two teams who were involved and anyone who was at the game or knew the photographer.

Our gracious heavenly Father, we pray for no major life changing injuries during the games or as we drive to the games and no matter where we are at the games, Oh Lord we pray. Amen.
