Wacky Wednesday--Christians Shouldn’t Play Sports

Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.

~Loving to win entails wanting someone else to lose.
~The Christian should be cooperative, not competitive.
~Contributes to the sense that only the winners are valuable, or at least they are more valuable.
~Competition doesn’t fit very well with compassion.
~Survival of the fittest is not a concept we want our education to reinforce.
~They teach self-reliance rather than dependence upon God.
~Did Jesus play them?
