Do we need the Dallas Cowboys?

According to a helpful Dallas Cowboy player on this morning's news report, we need the potential labor issues between NFL owners and players to be resolved. His argument is that Football is the American sport and without it people would not know what to do with themselves on Sunday.

Uh, I have an idea -- go to church! Here's another -- play a sport yourself after you go to church! Here's another -- spend quality time with friends and family after you go to church!
The very idea that all America is waiting for billionaires (owners) to sort things out with millionaires (players) so we know what to do with ourselves on Sunday is absurd.
As near as I can tell, historically Sunday became a special day in Western culture because every Sunday was a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. Look it up -- Jesus rose on Easter Sunday before football was even created!

And if you are looking for something to do -- whether the Cowboys resolve their labor problems or not -- you are welcome to worship at First United Lutheran Church, 6202 East Mockingbird Lane, Dallas, Texas -- 10:30am on Sundays.
