I think God Has a lot on his plate and may not be following sports all that much. I am pretty sure God is a Boston Red Sox fan.
My take is that the thanks-togod- spiel is the result of people who accomplished something from a world they came from -called: next to nothing.

A nobody coming from nowhere to become something in someone's eyes. Coveted, making big money is a humbling experience to which they accredit a great source that gave them that extra drive to do shit most others copped out on. Training, studying, completing something.

Now I don't care for it: especially as said- thanking a god for knocking someone out. Or catching a football. But I look at their upbringings.


A rapper poor as dirt, calling women bitches and hoes and then thanks god for selling a million of it? Seems ludicrous and demeaning to the god.

Yet when the producers and managers of such rapper win an award- or every Oscar award winner in acting that I've seen... they thank their cohorts; fuck a god. It is as if their upbringing doesn't give them any sense of humility.

And the rest are just religious freaks that attribute everything to god.
Sister Jenkins almost got her gas cut off...but the lord came through. Really? or was it a legislator who took tax dollars from hard workers and gave it to the poor woman who either cant work or don't wanna work?

She should be thanking God for those tax paying citizens.
Feel me?
