Why is it that boxers always thank god when they win, but........

[ippo]

"I want to eat his children praise be to Allah"

[Chairman L-mao]

I never support athletes who thank God for wins. They can all go to hell, metaphorocally speaking, the uncivilized, unreflective cavemen who think that if there were a god it would care about the outcome of a sporting event.

[Calzaghe-Fan]

Using god should be banned. Not fair if somebody has god on their side and the other fighter doesnt.

[Enlightened]

Are you serious?

First I would ask if you even believe in God for asking a question like that? If not, you shouldn't worry about it. Basically, what we as Christians are saying if that if it weren't for God, you wouldn't have woke up this morning. Some people actually die in their sleep. In essence, boxers are thanking God for even being healthy enough to step into the ring. They are thanking him for giving them the mental determination to go through everything they had to do to get prepared to fight, etc. I hope everybody making these comments are atheists because y'all sound kind of ignorant.

Some of them thank God after losing. After Zab got brutalized by Cotto he thanked God(from what I remember). It is rare though.

Yeah he did it after the floyd fight as well.

A true christian fighter would not hit back.
Also the world would be a better place without religion.

I agree.
Has anyone ever heard someone say "I thank god everyday for being alive"?
Life is a gift, and once you realize that, you'll be grateful every day. As long as you are alive on this earth, you have something to be grateful for.

i hear fighters thank god after a loss all the time.

like, "thanks to god i came out of this fight okay." or something like that

[ИATAS]

what's funny is, even if there were a god, why the **** would god give a **** about a sporting event? Like god is a true boxing fan or a New York Giants fan.

God: I really like this Mayweather kid. I'm going to have him KO that Ricky Hatton punk and just for fun, I'll make Ricky hit his head on the turnbuckle, that will be funny.

God: Oh ****, a war is going on in Kenya! Well **** that **** bro, I don't give a **** about Africa, I'm watching Jones woop Trinidad!

[Brother Blues]

Most who are thanking God haven't been to church in years...
