Knees are bowed, heads are lowered, hands are clasped, and silent words of prayers are offered up for the success of the team of choice or the destruction of the team of unfettered hatred.

Motherfvckers proclaiming that “God will help them -their team- prevail” might …

In a 2009 study of students in developing and developed countries, the United States ranked lower than most countries in educational performance regardless that we spend more per pupil than any other country except Luxembourg.

Person: I know. How you been? I’m here decorating.

For years, Folk has watched sports events. Numerous professional leagues even have priests, pastors, bishops, etc on staff. Every fvcking weekend, millions of prayers go up in the form of “God help us beat the [insert opposing team name of choice] and achieve this victory in your name. Amen.”
For years, this shyt has irritated Folk to the fullness because Folk was for sure in the pits of Folk’s heart that if a deity does interact with …
