Sports people are generally pretty superstitious generally, so perhaps it isn't surprising that there is a greater prevalence of religion amongst them.
When a big part of your career is determined by luck then I guess you'll take any help you can get.
Interestingly it seems (to me anway) that there is less open displays of religious adherence amongst managers than amongst players. i wonder why that is.
Praying to God or whoever may give people confidence etc and if they win then they can believe its god if they want but its clearly bollocks
Its like the Christian who is involved in a serious accident and after months of highly skilled surgery and rehabilitation by medical staff is able to walk again and says its thanks to God that they have been saved . Of course they are entitled to believe that but its bollocks .
Because other Christians, and indeed non Christians, who fail to walk again or indeed die from their injuries are not saved , despite being either Christian and good and holy or just decent people who don't go to church .
Either God doesn't exist or he's a fussy git
..and while we're at it..what's this "bless you " bollocks that some idiots say after a sneeze?
I hope whoever "wins" this bit of land will remember this little girl and asks themselves was it ever worth it.

Isnt that to do with plague back in the 14th century? If you sneezed it was the first sign that youd caught the plague and were off to meet your Maker pretty soon. People would say God Bless You if they saw you sneeze.
These days youd say - wear a fcuking mask you covidiot and keep your germs to yourself.
That's to do with the black death. First symptoms were sneezing. Many blessed them sneezing as it was thought they would die soon.
There is also some proof that most roman crucifixions were done on wood from olive trees, as this was abundant at the time. Olive timbre is short branches and not large timber as in pine/oak/ash etc. Therefor people were crucified on the shape of an "X" (still a cross though)
Players should be coming onto the pitch doing the "X Factor" sign... lol
