‘Pastor quits’
“Pastor quits sports!” the headline read.
“Football in the fall. Basketball in the winter. Baseball
in the spring and summer. Your pastor has been an avid
sports fan all his life.
“But I've had it! I quit this sports business once and for
all. You can’t get me near one of those places again.
*Want to know why?
“1. Every time I went, they asked me for money.
“9. The people with whom I had to sit didn’t seem very
friendly. v
“3 The seats were too hard and not at all comfortable.
‘4 1 went to many games, but the coach never came to
call on me.
5 The referee made a decision with which I could not
agree.
“6. Isuspected that I was sitting with some hypocrites-
they came to see their friends and what others were
wearing rather than to see the game.
“7. Some games went into overtime, and I was late
getting home.
: “g. The band played some numbers that I had never
jeard before.
‘9 It seems that the games are scheduled when I want
to do other things.
10. I was taken to too many games by my parents
when I was growing up.
11. I recently read a book on sports and now I feel I
know more than the coaches anyhow.
“12. 1 don’t want to take my children to any games,
because I want them to choose for themselves what sport
they like best.
“With apologies to those who's use these same flimsy
‘rationalizations to avoid attending church. (Reprinted

Rapids, Mich.)
