Profession of faith is a very powerful act.

It's a half-hearted attempt to proselytize to people. It's like the mass media way of saving people, to get as much exposure as possible and people will be saved. It has nothing to do with sports and more to do with the number of people there. However, it's become pretty much a joke (a sad joke, not a ha ha joke). Also, it's another way for attention whores to get a fix by drawing that much need attention to them and not the game.

Nothing really, you cannot compare your Faith to running around with a ball on your hands. Actually...
If you hold up the ball (your Faith) and you run to the other side of the field and do a touchdown or whatever it may symbolize that when you show your faith and you take it to the end, You win. And probably to share the word of God too.

Grace unto you, and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Sport is about contesting. So is the Bible.
Two Gods: allegorically contested in Bible:
God of John 3:16... Law<-Sacrifice<-Division
God of John 3:17... Grace->Mercy->Peace
(John is the only "verily verily" gospel account)
God on "high", in plural divided "heavens"...Law
God in "heaven", "higher than the heavens"...Grace
Enmity: I will forsake you, the city, your fathers...Law
Friend: I will never leave thee nor forsake thee...Grace
Christ is our peace who abolished the enmity(law): Eph 2
It's better to say John 3:17;
Or John 5:45; John 8:3-11.
BTW, if I do your home-work, I shd get the 10 pts
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ WITH YOU ALL. AMEN.

It's a reference to a Bible verse:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
And I have no idea what this has to do with ball games. Probably nothing. Just proselytizing by some fundamentalist fans??

I heard the guy that started that fad got jailed for life-another Christian exemplar of moral virtue. Apparently he went schizo and kidnapped people because he was expecting something called a rapture, whatever that is.

it's got EVERYTHING to do where one will spend eternity, which makes sports very small in comparison. It's a way of witnessing to the lost.

It has nothing to do with sports, its a way to wittiness about Jesus to unsaved people.
