Active Faith: Pro Athletes Bring Christian Apparel to the Masses

Posted by Mark J. Miller on March 30, 2012 03:33 PM - There have always been Christian athletes in the ranks of professional sports. Guys would pray together in the end zone or in the locker room. Last year, some pro teams even started to add religion-themed promotional fan days.

The San Francisco Giants, for example, added days had game promotions for Christian, Jewish, and Mormon fans planned, according to USA Today, which didn’t sit well with Muslim fans of the team. Oakland A’s yarmulkes were handed out a Jewish Heritage Night that team held. The rise of new New York Jet Tim Tebow and the New York Knicks’ Jeremy Lin, two very devout Christians (and pals, apparently), has drawn attention to how religion and professional sports mix.

The Heat Beat The New York Knicks In A Smashing Home Game

Love You Lin, But Sorry, The Heat Had To Win!

Miami Heat

The Miami Heat defeated the stellar New York Knicks in a great home game, 102-88. It was another bow in a longtime rivalry. It heated up, pardon the pun, when former Heat player, Alonzo Mourning and former Knicks, went at it and coach Van Gundy got dragged on the court in the process.

However, the Judiciary Report finds today's win particularly sweet, as for years, a number of New York transplants living in Florida now, consistently go to local Heat games unabashedly and unashamedly cheering for the Knicks. Traitors!

Jeremy Lin

Not to mention, these New York transplants have done things like called into local sports radio, with their heavy New York accents, defending the Knicks, while calling Floridian Heat fans "You orange picking m***** *******" (*gasp* and *clutch the pearls*).

The state fruit is the orange (to residents) and Florida is known for producing large quantities of the juice for the rest of the nation. Yet these ungrateful New York turncoats living in Florida have made such jokes. You live in Florida now. Respect the orange! (LOL). I'm just teasing, but that stuff really happened.
