Soccer fans are at an exhilarating time of year. We’re learning which teams will be able to land a spot in a playoff and which people will have to live for better draft picks as the college football playoff game have formally begun. However, I’ve noticed a significant deluge of Christian belief off the area over the past year.  ,

Soccer players frequently pray before or after a game or express gratitude to God after a victory. ( And how many times have we heard the cliched agnostic remark that God doesn’t care about basketball game? Don’t get me started on that … ) But something about this week felt a little different. Maybe it’s the Christmas spirit. I’ve always believed that the positive aspects of the game far outweigh the negative ones, despite the fact that I know people love to criticize the NFL for everyone, from its wake efforts to some of the athletes ‘ criminal behavior. The great merely doesn’t generally get as much attention. And, quite frankly, it’s refreshing to see these people with this great system calmly talk out about their values.  ,
On Saturday, the Baltimore Ravens beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 34-17, which secured the Ravens ‘ position in the finals. Following the game, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh addressed reporters to discuss the discipline activity, as he always does, but this time he introduced himself. Before reading Luke 1: 46-47 from the Bible, he said,” I just want to start with this because this is important to me and to a lot of people this week, Christmas.”  ,
” And Mary said: ‘ My heart glorifies the Lord and my heart rejoices in God my Savior,'” it says.  ,

But, I just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, happy holiday time, and cheer. Cheer. Revel in life. Revel in your situation. Revel in the challenging game. Revel in the loss. Revel in the victories as we are fortunate to achieve today as a basketball team, and also revel in the people you care about and who are close to you. Cheer. We don’t have to worry about everything and fight with one another here on this World. We’re here to share love and joy with one another. This try to remember that this week. This is a major football week, great? It’s even a great career year. It’s a great moral week.
Another big name in the NFL, Down South in Atlanta, showed off his Religious belief while also teaching the world how to be a head and maintain humility at the same time. Kirk Cousins, the quarterback for the Falcons, was replaced this week in favour of quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. Before the two gentlemen took the field for the game against the New York Giants, devices caught the NFL former leading Penix in a prayer.  ,
Lastly, if you were watching the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Houston Texans game on Saturday, you might have noticed that Texans wide receiver Tank Dell had a broken ACL and dislocated knee. The TV staff couldn’t record the injuries because it was so severe that it caused Texans player CJ Stroud to cry as he watched his friend and teammate be carted off the area.  ,

After the match, in which the Texans lost, It addressed the internet. ” All you can do is really pray,” you say. It’s been a moment. God also gets the brilliance. No matter what happens to me, I always have a sense that I’m actually up here because of the kindness of Jesus. You can see his whole speech here:  ,
After the match, people from both teams, including Stroud, gathered on the area to pray together.  ,
Stroud has stated in the past that another NFL players have praised him for being such an vocal Christian. His answer? ” I’m not doing it to seem great. I’m doing it because that’s what God called me to do” . ,
