The Real God's Team

We would imagine that this is a busy time at the Vatican. So, it is surprising to catch this snippet of news coming out of Vatican City yesterday.

This would definitely be interesting. We would imagine there are a fair number of Catholic men who play soccer making the recruitment very easy. "What you don't want to play for the Church? Hmm, ever hear of excommunication?"

God's team no longer wears Blue and Gold

Just our guess, but the Church probably doesn't want to get involved with some of the uglier aspects of modern professional athletes. Imagine this confession:

"Forgive me father for I have sinned, it has been three days since my last confession."

"That's okay my son...wait, Rovario, is that you? Good grief. What now?"

"Father, I have committed some impure deeds. I snorted coke off this hooker's ass, while I was banging her 17-year old daughter. Then I killed her husband and stole all of the furniture from his house."

(Sigh) "Well, your penance is an Our Father and two Hail Marys. Just be glad that you put that sweet header in against AC Milan last weekend otherwise you would totally have to self-flagellate."
