redsfan39 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Seeing this has reminded me of a concept that was posted last year...Murmansk Fightin' Jesuses I'm honestly in love with that concept. Classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 As a Christian I find this sort of thing quite tacky.But it could have been a lot worse.

Captain Apollo Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I think it's neat. You don't hear that much about God anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 that rediculous. what about the nonreligous type, i for one would be offended. just playing DEVILS advocate , but the New Jersey DEVILS and the Tampa Bay DEVIL Rays play with little fanfare and even the NHL allows.....SATAN 91 himself to play!!!So I say give these folks their obscure night that we are only further promoting by discussing it. It does seem odd. Will the players be allowed to curse while wearing the jersies? Actually Miroslav Satan wears 81. If it was up to me, he'd be traded to the New Jersey Devils and they'd assign him #6 so when he skates away from you you see 6 on one arm, 6 on the back and 6 on the other arm! *LOL* As far as not hearing much about God anymore... mmm... try a church that might help! *LOL* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I think it's neat. You don't hear that much about God anymore. It's true. The Christian Right has no voice... WHA??!!! To each their own, I guess, but to me, it would be great if there was some place you could go, like on Sundays or something, where one could discus their religious beliefs with likeminded people instead of airing it in public places where it's likely there are going to be people that have no interest in the topic.To me, this is no different than if their jerseys were supporting a political candidate or platform. It's tacky, it's innappropriate, and I can't imagine the outroar if the team had Quran Jersey night, for instance. Just because there are more Christians in that part of the world than other religions doesn't mean that the double standard is okay.I hope they get there asses kicked in those jerseys.

Hat Boy Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Will the players be allowed to curse while wearing the jersies? If they do, they will be turned into a pillar of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 On matters like this, I never understand while the faithful aren't more outraged than the faithless. If you plastered icons deeply held beliefs all over jerseys just to sell tickets, I'd be pretty upset. I never understand how a person's faith can be held so cynically as to be used like this, or to sell $75 Blue Jays knockoffs, like shown above. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyFriedRice Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I'd be pretty scared to play a team called the Fightin' Jesuses. Mostly because Jesus was the world's second zombie (he died and came back to life - zombie) and zombies are :censored:ing scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cableguy Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 This is the most ridiculious thing I have ever heard! I agree totally that I would be offended and very upset. There IS the seperation between church and state as there should be a seperation between church and SPORTS! This is stupid. IF people want to preach their religion there are times and places to do that (ie IN CHURCH?)NOT on a playing field where many fans may not share that opinion!

Captain Poncho Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 that rediculous. what about the nonreligous type, i for one would be offended. What's there to be offended about? the fact that they are pushing a particular religion. the act of pushing religion i find rather offending. Then get a helmet and toughen up.Having someone promote their religion isn't any more offensive than someone promoting a poker tournament or Hooters coupons at a game.Besides, being "offended" isn't a horrible, scarring offense, despite what PC nutjobs say.It's part of life. Get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS85 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Pretty lame idea, but it'll fatten their pockets and the gimmick will draw some new people.

gordie_delini Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 so can we get a Jewish themed jersey for the New York AFL team? For one day they could be the Rabbis or something, or have MOSES on their jerseys. L'Chaim, everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Strange idea, but I don't find it offensive in any way. If the team thinks it will draw some attention and/or put butts in the seats, it is their prerogative to do it. It is also my prerogative to stay home if I don't want to support the message being promoted.My only question is, and maybe I missed this, what is the "Samson" part on the front all about?
