Football and theology

Head over to Near Emmaus this week for some theological thinking about the National Football League. Day one’s reflections are here. Brian LePort writes:

Some people may brush off these questions. “It’s just a game.” “Enjoy it, don’t over-think it!” But games matter to people (we fill stadiums with thousands to watch these events) and if the unexamined life isn’t worth living that includes our pastimes!

I’ve submitted a contribution called “Of Linebackers and Liturgy” that will appear later this week. I’ll include a link to that later here at Words on the Word, and I’m sure that everything at Near Emmaus will be worth reading and engaging this week.
