  Although I happen to be from Pittsburgh, and am happy the Steelers won, it's interesting to note in reference to your question that Pittsburgh and the surrounding area has an extremely high number of churches relative to its population size. There are churches for every denomination and nationality. Both denomination and nationality are important to note, as traditions vary widely based on both, and many churches were brought to this area brick by brick from their native lands by immigrant organizations who raised money specifically for that cause. In fact, "Holy Pittsburgh" is a popular documentary and popular architectural sight seeing tour.

  I always thought it was funny that Ambridge, a small town outside of Pittsburgh long held (and may still hold) the world's record for the most churches AND the most bars per capita population. When they held the record, there was one church and one bar for every four people in the town.

  As to your question, does God care about sports? No, probably not. A more worth while question might be why people care about sports, what sport inspires in people, in a city, in a nation, etc? Ponder the creativity it took for people to design sport. What does one learn from participating in sport--either from playing or watching?

  Since, as I said, I'm from Pittsburgh, I have some idea what these things mean. My father was a steel worker. He was an avid Steeler fan. I remember all too well the recession of the 80s, since it killed the steel industry, and nearly killed my city.

  I doubt that Ambridge still holds the title I mentioned. Ambridge was named for American Bridge Corporation. It was one of the largest employers in this area. It depended on the steel industry. Neither exist anymore. I used to be able to see the largest steel mill in the world from the room I'm sitting in right now. It's not there anymore. It was torn down to build a prison.

  I think God cares about much more than sports, and professional sports are ultimately about much more than who gets to go to Disney World.

  One final note, if you listen to those guys talk, and how much they love the Rooney family, you should be able to see that most of them realize that too.

  Ha! Finally one we agree on! Pray (or wish) for the players to be safe, but for a win? Yeesh--why would he care?
