I wish I was surprised. It saddens me that I am not.
Here is another piece of evidence for the broken state of sports. At the Firecrackers and Triple Crown Sports presents: Showcase at Big League Dreams in West Covina, Calif., one team, in response to not going their way, organized a play where the catcher would duck out of the way so that …well you need to watch it to see what happens!
(You can skip to 1:35 for the short version.)
You can see and read more about this incident here.
I know this is not the case, but it seems almost as if we are sitting around dreaming up new ways to show the brokenness. The reality is that sin is always destructive, progressive, and addictive and we live in a day where we see this reality played out in sports.
Hope you will let this look further fuel the fire of your cries for our great Redeemer to move in the realm of this brokenness and bring redemption.
