Violence

Football contains the two worst things about American Life. It is violence punctuated by committee meetings. (Kenneth J. Brown, author)

The Super Bowl is coming up soon in the NFL. Brown’s humorous remark about the sport is a pretty good observation about modern life. Like the gladiators of history, people seem to enjoy watching (and participating in) all kinds of violent sports. Could there be a correlation between the violence in sports and the increase in hatred and civic unrest in our nation?

[Evil people] plot violence,  and their words always stir up trouble. (Proverbs 24:2)
