Should Boxers Leave Religion Out The Ring?

[tommy boo boxer]

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.

you wouldn't understand my friend

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:

lol its the other way around.

I'm a proud and devoted ****** who feels proud when my brothers in Islam show how devoted they are to our religion.......I also don't mind seeing other fighters who are not ******s show the same devotion to their faith!!.....what needs to be left outta the ring is those silly ass national flags and the singing of those boring ass anthems!!

Exactly as I thought.

You can't explain it.

im a devout christian and i hate when anyone says "i won because of God.."
its ok to pray and thank God for safety, no injuries and stuff like that but not for winning or losing..
God doesnt favor anyone to win in sports. the whole idea is ridiculous.

Romans 8 "God works FOR THE GOOD of those who love Him"
meaning God's purpose for those who love him are FOR THE GOOD which could either be winning OR losing.

They are the ones getting in the ring taking a beating, let them say what they want after.

Thank God for this post, I dont get why people like to cry about every little thing, Am a devouted christian and while it doesnt bother me i dont think it should bother anyone because they are not the one taking the punches in the face.

This is what i tell people who are prepared to argue their case, Its beyond them its not something they would get, No matter how you explain it so there is no point in trying to enlighten that sort of person.
