If Evangelicals want to be consistent, the time has come to
turn off and abandon the National Basketball Association. The NBA caved to
public pressure and moved the All-Star game from Charlotte because of the North
Carolina law against trans-gender inclusivism. If the NBA has embraced sin,
then it must be rejected and not supported through television commercial
revenue based on ratings and/or ticket and merchandise sales.
Turn off the NBA. That would be consistent.
Christian players within the NBA (if there are any) should
immediately step down.
This won't happen because Evangelicals like their money and
their sports and they want to be culturally relevant and plugged in.
So-called Transgenderism is a lie and an abomination. How far
will Evangelicals go to compromise with the culture?
Sadly those that refuse to compromise will likely turn more
and more to belligerence and ultimately violence.
Of course the NBA's stance is absurd. A morally dubious
organisation filled with some of the scum of society it now dares to try and
play the moral high ground? It really is laughable coming from an organisation
riddled with racist owners and rapist deviant players. I'm generalising of
course, but only slightly.
It's like pharmaceutical companies trying to pretend they are
driven by moral concerns. It's just laughable.
The real moral corruption in the NBA is related to the money.
This aspect of 'professional' sports is so revolting that I turned it off
decades ago. It is fame and fortune and their corrupting influences that often
turn already immoral and immature young men into megalomaniacal monsters. In
that sense between the money, violence, and perversity the NBA really and truly
is a Sodomite sport. This is the essence of what Sodom is... living for the
self, a life abandoned to hedonistic self-worship. At that point as per Romans
1, God hands you over to self-destruction.
The NBA is equally absurd because as a sport it is gender based
and segregated. Let's suppose LeBron James decides he's a girl and wants to
play in the WNBA... another absurd, immoral and immodest organisation
Christians should have nothing to do with. Will everyone be okay with
eye-shadowed and lipsticked LeBron playing the ladies? I think not. When he
averages 100 points a game, won't someone say... "That's not fair!"
And they would be right.
It's funny too how the transgenderism in sports issue only
becomes a concern for the male-to-female aspect and not the other way around.
Sure, girls playing at being a boy can come and play with the boys. No one in
basketball, football or most other sports (except maybe golf and tennis) is
going to care. But let the pervert boys (pretending to be girls) play with the
ladies... well, that's a problem isn't it? It's all fantasy.
I think Christians will find in many of these cases, if they
take a humble stand and refuse to participate, that they speak, but not for the
sake of spectacle or political gain, they will find that very few fellow 'believers'
are actually with them. Our numbers are much smaller than many realise.
Some of your comments remind me of a non-PC meme that circulated around the internet: it had a picture of Caitlyn Jenner's "Woman of the Year" Vanity Fair covershot and it said, "Men are so much better than women that men are better at being women than women"
ReplyDeleteNot sure where you're going with that....
ReplyDeleteI think you mean Bruce Jenner.
