Should Boxers Leave Religion Out The Ring?

[RisAri0]

if religion is making fighters win then y leave it out the ring?

[nailzfan]

I personally love to hear a boxer thank god for allowing him to inflict brain damage upon another human being. Cause you know God is a big fan of the hurt game.

I'd rather hear a boxer talk about religion than have insecure people like you try to enforce their "opinion" on us all.

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:

Don't really care. It makes for hilarious hypocrisy though when they father a child out-of-wedlock.

[Vasyl’s dad]

I dont believe in any religion. This is some ******ed ****, when in any sports they go, "thank god, for such and such and so". **** is ******ed!!

Pretty much.

As if a God would pick one person over the other.


Or, one team over the other.

[Reservation]

Actually, if God were an ******* and simply played games with humankind, I could see him picking one person over the other just for the heck of it.

[Maidana vs Rios]

Pac is god. When he thanks god for giving him that strength, he's just thanking himself, in third person.

believing in God is what makes them fighters....

a lot of people these days are brainwashed by the godless media and the idiots like darwin that someone posted up there... they don't believe in god...

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

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

as if religion doesn't get bashed enough from the media and guys like Dawkins. So what if a fighter wants to thank God.
