Besides, saying god helped you win the game takes away from your own athletic prowess

I know. When some asshole hits a home run and points at the sky I want to scream:

YOU HIT THE BALL, STUPID. NOT YOUR FUCKING GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But that's probably just me!

When someone hits a home run, I'm usually too busy thinking "FINALLY SOMETHING FUCKING HAPPENED!!"....but that's also just me. Baseball, to me, is an incredibly boring sport and it would take something on the level of a god to keep me entertained during a game. Give me rugby, where they beat the shit out of each other, and then if you want to thank god for getting out of the game safely I might have more tolerance for it. All depending on how many times you were hit, of course.

Regardless, sports players: you are the ones taking the steroids or working your asses off. When the fans are standing up watching you round the bases, or run for that touchdown, we're not thinking of god, we're watching your ass. It's all riding on you. What kind of masochistic bastard will take the blame of his teammates and fans when he fails, but give all the credit to god when he succeeds?
