What’s more precious to America, Football or Jesus?

[VBM]

I swear I’ve had more people try to make me like Football than I’ve had people try to convert me to Christianity lol. Football’s not my thing, but I can get why people like it. What have never understood though is why so many people are so zealous about it

NASCAR.

In capital letters son.

It is an interesting sport in terms of the fan base. They are the most loyal fans on the planet bar none.

And when they follow a car, they rarely say the driver's name. They usually say the car number.

When the driver's get out of the car at the end of the race, they just call their car the [Sponsor] Chevy or the [Sponsor] Toyota.

I also like Indy Car. That is a very dangerous series when on ovals. Dan Wheldon died at Las Vegas driving those things.

average weekly viewers of games is 16.7 million Americans, that's like 5%.  The Super Bowl is watched by a 100 million Americans, that's less than a third.  That's about the percentage of Americans who go to a religious service at least once a month.  Going to service at least once a year (like the Super Bowl) is going to be far higher than that (I've seen numbers from 70-80%).

I declare God (in general) to be more important than the NFL, though I would imagine American Football at all levels is more popular than Christianity/Jesus.  And since that is your questions, I'm going to have vote for Football.

thinking about this more, it's far easier to "watch" football, than it is to "got to church".  I bet if you asked every American to list the ten most important things in their life, "god" will top "football" 85-90% of the time (of those that list either, millions of Americans wouldn't put either in their top ten, I certainly wouldn't).

Obviously Jesus. I never watch football and I would only watch the Super Bowl if the Cowboys actually made it, just in honor of my dad and also the fact that Hampton Roads is full of diehard fans.

More Americans would probably say Jesus.
