"As the NFL demands more political correctness -- refusing to play Tim Tebow and having "moments of silence" rather than prayer"
If you're a lawyer as you claim to be, Andy, why not take the NFL to court re. your butthurt over this irrelevant matter, then?
Because even mere 'opinions' don't count for shit against what goes on, here on Planet Reality. Last time I heard, the NFL was a private company who do things their way; why not 'protest' outside the venue for the next Superbowl, airing your so-called 'grievance' over this issue? But trust me, you're going to be one extremely lonely little butthurt child (Those holding signs saying 'Two tix needed', 'will blow you & your brothers for 1 tix' etc will even point & laugh at your own desperation, Andy).
Someone like you tried to take on Little League over a similar matter:

If 'God' is utterly powerless against mere mortal law (Romans 13:1-5, bitches), then this latest outburst from you only serves to prove how utterly disconnected from that outside your own little one-dimensional mindset. 'Houston, Andy has a problem'. What particularly fabulous hue is the sky in your dimension, Andy Schaftafly?!
But you're not going to do anything about it. Are you? No. In fact, you daren't; and not just for the example set (linked above) by Jay Kaplan, re. 'Christian Little League'.
You don't want to lose one of the main sources of your obsession, re. sports - especially how 'teams outperform Atheists in individual events' (certainly, re. the 2012 London Olympics) - just to justify your insane 'theories' that are completely disconnected from Planet Reality.
Professional American Football in the US is the NFL's to do exactly what they like with. They have the backing of their shareholders, do they not? (otherwise, you're opposing Capitalism, and we can't be having that now can we eh, Andy 'Raygun's Bumboy' Schaftafly, you COMMIE!).
Seems they have no problem with their 'liberal style playoffs', as long as the returns on their investments keep a-rolling in; apparently unaffected by your claims of 'television ratings decline'. The NFL is in very rude health. Unlike, say, WCW, which lost the ratings war against the WWE; and even they - whilst far richer than the World Wildlife Fund - lost their legal battle as to who had the rights to use 'WWF', and were assimilated by the latter. Who can possibly compete against the NFL? Even your 'God' has competition: Hinduism's Shiva, the Sikh deity, Japan's Amaterasu (and Buddha; along with most of the Far East), $cientology's LRH, JR 'Bob' Dobbs, Cthulhu, the Invisible Pink Unicorn/Lauren Faust (Ponies and Blessings Upon Her), His Noodliness the Flying Spaghetti Monster, Haruhi Suzumiya. And of course, not forgetting Allah - and it's not looking too good for your precious 'God', re. the latter, neither.
(PROTIP: After the complete political destruction of the Repubicans post-early November last year by Obama, so many fellow fundies - Teabaggers et al; especially on Ruptured Retards - are now disassociating themselves from other denominations of Christians, for not voting their way, or simply not voting, period. As far as they're concerned, your 'God' has withdrawn his hand of 'protection' from your nation. Some states no longer oppose same-sex marriage, as per referenda coinciding with said election. Your precious USA is no longer a 'Christian Nation' as some have claimed in the past (naming no names...!), so there's your 'refusing same-sex marriage and is "increasingly" Christian America' claims completely fucked then, Andy.)
...but you just keep moaning, bitching, 'BAWWWWW!'ing etc away on Conservapoodia, Andy Schaftafly. For all the good it'll do you. How's your 'faith' - that Schaftafly World will have the remotest effect on what happens beyond your own little one-dimensional realm - doing these days, eh?!
'You can say these things, but that's all you can do: say them.'
-Usain Bolt (to his critics. Who - post-2012 London Olympics - are now extremely conspicuous by their absence. As is any subatomic particles of credibility, re. your 'theory', which was later completely annihilated by the London Paralympics before they even started.)
"Why bother watching its liberal style playoffs?"
Oh, I dunno. Just try asking that on the numerous American Football fan forums (official NFL, affiliated, or simply fan-run). I wonder how many will agree with you...?!
Like I say, the NFL's shareholders have no problem with such, even if 'twere the case as you 'claim'. Seems their bank managers/investment advisors et al are extremely happy with such a corporate policy by one of the biggest sporting organisations on the planet. 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it', and all that jazz...! >:D
Moral: Like a certain someone who shall remain nameless (certainly clueless), seems that Andy Schaftafly is an intellectual masochist. he loves being argumentally kerbstomped into oblivion - and thus his depraved & warped psychological need to keep coming back for more of the same - by those more than infinitely superior to him (certainly his 'God'). Only he's so mentally disconnected from Reality by his insane death grip on his so-called (certainly unjustifiable) 'faith', making him inferior, he simply cannot admit he's wrong in every conceivable way, thus making him admit to himself he - and his 'faith' - is wrong, therefore having no choice but to recant of his unjustifiable 'beliefs' which make him think in this insane way, and become an Atheist.
It wouldn't kill him to do so. Just ask another long-time Christian, Andy. Or should I say, [i]EX[/i]-long time Christian...!
