If they pray to win, aren't they also then praying for the other side to lose? Isn't the other side also praying going to counteract them?
Im fairly certain it works like this....
God gets the call that theres prayer going on down on the field, he then does a background check of each player on each team, stuff like: whos masturbated the most, whos cheated on tests, finger f-ed the most girls......ya know, basic HS shenanigans. Then, he takes this info and averages it all out (in his head, mind you.....he's god) and the team with the lowest number of transgressions gets the gawd power put into them for a couple of hours and the team with the most transgressions gets stuff like broken knee-caps, pulled muscles, sprained ankles, fumble-fingers, etc etc.
Baseball? God hates baseball, so when both teams pray, he just laughs and does nothing.
Thats pretty much how it works.
I went to Catholic school until 6th grade...... I know what im talking about here.
