The War Against Footballism

The NFL came out swinging against churches planning on showing the Superbowl in their churches.

Since churches have gone multimedia, many have invested in large screen projection systems making for a great football experience.

But even more militant than the Olympic Committee, the NFL is threatening these home of hostile footballism if they show games on screens wider than 55" or if they mention the word Superbowl® in billboards or bulletins.

Is the NFL afraid of not sharing in the loot? No, the churches don't charge admission.

But if the churches served popcorn and beer they might get by with the game. The exception to the widescreen rule? Sports bars that regularly show televised sports. Gives communion whine a whole new meaning.
