Obscenities

$1,100 Just To Park Near The Stadium?

Now, please don't get me wrong.  Anyone who knows me will tell you I love sports---especially football and baseball.  A love of sports began early in my life and has continued.

But there is something very, very wrong about sports today, especially in America.

I am reminded of that in a very big way today---the Super bowl will be played this evening in Cowboy's stadium in Dallas.  Two excellent representatives of their respective conferences will play for the title.  The game itself should be thrilling.

$25,000 Per Ticket Near the 50 Yard Line?

---Cost of a Super Bowl ticket:           $2,700 to $25,000
---Parking ticket:                                      $55 to $1,100
---Ticket to view game from parking lot TV screen:  $200 to $750
---1 slice of Papa John's pizza:                                   $9
---Hot dog:                                                                  $6
---16 oz Miller Lite:                                                    $10
---Margarita:                                                               $19
---Packer or Steeler jersey:                                         $60 to $85

$85 for a Shirt?  What if People Just Gave the Money to Charity and Made a Difference in Someone's Life?

This is obscene.  Not only can I think of better ways to spend money (on charity, for example), but I know that God cannot be pleased when He sees this indulgence and waste. 

Your thoughts, please.
