It's popular to bemoan the lack of role models these days, but it's not hard to find college football football players who sport Bible verses on their eyeblack (Tim Tebow, Terrell Pryor and James Laurinaitis come to mind...and anyone who lives in Austin knows of a certain UT quarterback's faith). Be sure to take the chance to point these positive example to your kids. And after the game, when the players thank God, this is a good chance to bring up a few questions for discussion, like: Why do you think the player is thanking God? Should we only thank God after victories? Does God favor one team over the other?
Good examples and teachable moments exist, we just need to look for them.
