DO you think God plays a role in sports outcomes?

    As an agnostic, and as someone who knows (even likes!) many people who do believe in god, I'll say that maybe their belief gives them the strength to do what it takes, to endure and persevere, to go beyond their perceived limitations or weaknesses - whether in sports, everyday life, what have you. I don't think that's a bad thing - at least, nothing to scoff at.

    (if people believed god itself could pre-determine the outcome of a game, then why even play to begin with?)

    My take on it, anyway.

    (oh, and the Grammy/Oscar/celeb award thing - whole 'nother ballpark!)

    It's less about God playing a role and more about religious culture in sports, but does touch on various issues.

    And of course they had to put Ray in some sort of baptismal/praying pose on the front.

    he's standing on top of someone in this picture I'm guessing.
