God Decides NFL Games?

It seems religion just can't stay out of the news. Steve Johnson, wide receiver of the NFL's Buffalo Bills, has blamed God for dropping the game-winning pass in the game last Sunday. Here's the quote from his Twitter account:

"I PRAISE YOU 24/7!!!!!! AND THIS HOW YOU DO ME!!!!! YOU EXPECT ME TO LEARN FROM THIS??? HOW???!!! ILL NEVER FORGET THIS!! EVER!!! THX THO..."

It's certainly an interesting notion that we don't tend to think about, that God determines the outcomes of our sporting events. Here's a scenario for you: If two teams full of devout and faithful Christians play each other, and pray for victory, or if their devout fans pray for victory, how is the winner determined? Does God answer the prayers of only one side? Or does he even care about those prayers?

And to Steve Johnson: It's a dropped pass. It's only football! Get over it.
