After reading Paul Kengor’s column “The NFL disses Christmas” you would think a Christmas NFL game is the worst thing to happen since someone walked on the grass at Grove City College! He proffers that Christmas NFL games on Sundays are OK, even though it causes him to fret about the Ten Commandments and even takes a second to bemoan the death of “blue laws.” But a Wednesday game, that is an assault on Christians.
He mentions Christmas is a national holiday (even though Thanksgiving is also a national holiday, and again, Sunday Christmas games are OK). Then he reveals his true colors: He writes that “a pastor who emailed me noted that the NFL honors and celebrates Pride Month” and “launched a ‘Football is Gay’ promotional campaign.” Oh, humanity!
Noticeably absent is any mention of the NBA playing on Christmas. I think it’s probably because the NBA has a lot of minority players, and they don’t really exist to the nonsecular cult of GCC, unless they are born again and can hand over the $34,000 per year to attend an institution that seeks to narrow a person’s worldview instead of expand it. Just stay off the grass!
