… phony “Lee Greenwood God Bless the USA patriotism,” and that God and or Jesus has a “special plan”
for them which includes their winning some kind of athletic contest as if the amazing being that lives on
an ethereal cloud wants the other team or player to lose because he/she likes the Ohio State Buckeyes
more because they know how to pray better because they are so blessed by God.

Also many of the athletes realize that the big bucks in endorsements, commercials, and pay comes from
right wing entities.

Please don’t hate on them too much because they are products of right wing culture. And Trump

Pavlovian response. USA USA USA,
