Does God Care Who Wins a Football Game

Does God Care Who Wins a Football Game?

By Elton Camp

There are just a few words I'd like to say
As to things for which it's proper to pray

To request divine blessings is usually okay
But some words border on blasphemy to say

To ask God to bring victory in a football game
Is a prayer that's ignored because it's so lame

Can anyone truly think to God it has occurred
That one team over the other is to be preferred

Yet sometimes here in Alabama where I reside
Victory is asked for Auburn or the Crimson Tide

Folks who to God such a request have named
In my opinion should be most deeply ashamed
