I don't watch sports, I find them incredibly boring. But I don't see this church / football comparison.
If you choose to go to church you lend your voice to the people saying the bible is the guide by which you should live your life, you're supporting the ideals from which a lot of racists get their beliefs. I don't care much that the church hurts people who go to church, I care that organizations like the KKK spring from the church, I care that the believes churches promote cause laws to be passed that damage the rights of women and minorities. Biblical churches promote an attitude that makes real changes to the world and how the world is run. Football hurts the people who play, and does allows many players to do bad things, but football doesn't really effect elections, and national policy, like churches and the bible do.
