Should Boxers Leave Religion Out The Ring?

[them_apples]

For the record, I have conflicted feelings about "God" per se.

Just curious as to why if there is a "God", **** like this happens?


or this,

you are quick to blame god for anything bad that happens but I'd bet my life he wouldn't even cross your mind if something good happens for you.

You ask us as if we agree already with your ****** premise. It's not for science to explain religion.

Recent examples of boxers bringing up their gods in the ring include Andre Ward after the Kessler fight where he refers to the Christian faith and Anthony Small where he refers to the ****** faith during the build up of his most recent fight. Of course Pacquiao is probably the most prominent boxer now who regularly refers to a god, again conditioned under the Christian religion.

With many religious precepts now debunked by science, more and more people are beginning to realize that all religions are likely to be purely superstition, with no real evidence to support them other than a collection of far-fetched stories which compare quite readily to any other work of fiction.

Is it time that boxers leave religion out of the ring for good?

Interesting interview on the "god delusion" psychological condition:

If the fighter wants to not talk about religion in his fight its up to him, I am not religious, but if they have a belief and wants to share it they should.

For the reasons you stated no religion is who they are so what if other people think differently.

That being said I'm a religious man and I wouldn't say ''Thank you god'' after a fight as I don't think he would help me brutalise another man for money.

you wouldn't pray to god before the fight for god to help you hurt this man.

So,
I take you won't be answering the question?


If God is indeed thee supreme being,

why should he only get the praise but not the blame?

Don't worry, I don't expect an answer to this question either.

It's fine with me as long as they don't start bashing other religions. The way Khan and Salita have handled business so far has been really good.
