16. This is what I think of re: religion/sports

This is from the perspective of a liberal Christian:

A man and his priest are at a boxing match. One of the boxers kneels in the corner and genuflects. The man says, "Father, is that really going to help him?" The priest replies, "Not if he's not a good boxer."

I don't mind praying for injury-free games - in fact, I rather approve of it - but thanking God for victories or praying for them really seems trivial and/or a waste of time to me.
