I watch it ALL the time and I am in no way part of a cult! Pretty strong words As far as the Cheerleaders go, They don't always wear those outfits but I believe that they could cover up more Most of them are very pretty gals and they don't need to flaunt themselves for people to see that. Also, if they took out the cheerleaders of the NBA, people would still watch it. They hardly ever show them anyway when you are watching the games from t.v.!

I spent many years in other countries, and it got to the point that seeing a female topless did not "bother" me ( their culture ) but then i started looking for it, it didnt bother me, I was enjoying it.... and that is wrong...... what we put into our minds burns its self there, what we see, burns a graffic image into our minds that satan can come back and use against us..... the words we hear, embed themselves into our brain, and soon, all this junk that is in our brains, has overflowed into our hearts, then, yes, then it comes out..... people will spend a months wages to go watch a single football game, but they will not give just a small bit to help a missionary, or give any time to the soup line, or shelter in maintenance work.... if it is an inconvienience to them, they put the Lords work on the back burner, specially if it interfers with a sporting event..... that is why I call sports cults..... and comming close to being even worse, OCCULTs...... worshiping the people..... which is already being done..... people are already worshipping tthe players and teams..... very simular to how they did my 4th cousin once removed..... they worshipped him, and he is dead and burried...... ( elvis ) nothing but a man..... i have only one record of his, it is a 45, and that is it...... and I have not listened to that for years, not even sure that it is in playable condition being it has been in the attic for about two decades..... if we are claiming to be Christian, then let our actions show forth, not just our words........ who do we really worship????? who do we really follow????? mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you looked in my house, I have a few NBA and MLB photos in frames on my walls but you will also see my Bible on my coffee table where I can reach it, my hangings of my crosses around the house, inspirational painting too. I really don't understand why you feel the need to label sports as cults. I don't worship the players but I do have my favorites like Steve Nash which you saw on my last post. I don't attend church because of my work scheduel (military) and I would give $ to churches/missionaries but my bills come first to me. I don't spend alot of money on un nessisary items.

Its not such a bad thing for married people to find things that they both enjoy and to spend time enjoying it together. We have pretty much decided on watching the Rockets on TV for now because we didn't care for the strip tease. The TV coverage dosen't show very much of it and we can turn it if it does. God is not- anti fun. One good way to serve God is to spend time with your family. We watch most of the Rockets games and all of the playoff games but for us it is very quality time because we enjoy each other. Steve Nash Steve Nash!!! Steve Nash!! OK...the Suns are looking pretty good. But you gotta know it really........... T-MAC.... He Da Man!!!!!!!!!!!! God Bless...Sports fans and non-Sports fans Dan (Sports fan) Rockets in 2006!!!I just know it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband and I love sports and the NBA is our favorite! We love the Celtics(home team) but, well you know what happened. Tracy MacGrady is my husband's favorite beside Bird Man and Pistol Pete! I do love my Nashy! Sports are to be fun and enjoyable. You really shouldn't let a few cheerleaders ruin your fun. I feel sorry for them half the time! They have to dance around and cheer even when their team is losing lol! But, for the most part as I said before: Unless you are at the game, you don't see much of the cheerleaders!
