The Christian way of sports
Just happened to see in the Dec 5th issue of Sports Illustrated (I can't stand sports, I just scan it for my job) a story about one Herc Palmquist, who ownes the Texas Christian School, and is the pricipal and bible study teacher. Seems he wanted to win, really badly, so he got his son, a junior at Texas State in San Marcos, and some of his friends, all high school graduates, to play against NYOS (Not Your Ordinary School) and it's team of high school students. Palmquist had his regular six-man squad turn in it's uniforms for "inspection", told them the game was "canceled", and gave the uniforms to his college age son and friends, and tried to pass them off (goatees, tattoos and all) has high school players. Oh yeah, he had the game filmed too. And, after all that the ersatz team lost! Is that sick or what? Christian my butt.

1. Well duh-uh.


Of it's all right. He was doing it in Jesus' name! ANYTHING is okay as long as you do it in Jesus' name. And then if you get caught, act sorry and demand forgiveness.
