The Church & Double Standards

Yep, it's religious hypocrisy gripping my shit once again.

Many churches throughout the land want to show this coming weekend's Superbowl to lure and attract new members, adding they can do so in a "non-churchlike manner".

Quite aside from the fact that sport is a proper religion all by itself, do the churches not feel that this approach is somewhat unseemly?

Regardless however, the NFL have hit back at the churches, saying that they are not permitted to show the game on TV screens larger than 55" without a proper license. Making this distinction "limits the size of the audience", a matter of copyright/broadcast law (enforceable by the feds).

The churches - especially the mega-churches with their auditorium-sized jumbotron screens - all have their hassocks in a knot because of this ruling, claiming showing the game is "just a little bit of fun", but adding the wonderfully shiny hypocrisy of "Gee, doesn't the NFL have enough money already?"
