Thank the Lord the SEC brought back football #MIZ

Some of the responses:
The Lord has been busy: having the SEC have football and gifting Trump covid-19. Was He so busy that he forgot about you to get it? If I don’t believe the Lord cares about football, does that make me a religious bigot?
Too bad the Lord didn’t save the 210,000 people that got the Coronavirus because of the GOP’s ineptitude.
But sure, MIZ!
The Lord works in mysterious ways. Fuck 216,000 American citizens but yay football.
Yes! That’s a big win for Jesus! I guess LSU football players have lost favor with God. Of course, that first week loss by Mizzou… not sure how all this plays into the Lord’s divine plan to make Trump our overlord and sovriegn of Christensom. Ask the Proud Boys or Qanon?
Says the Stanford & Yale guy who left Missouri the first chance he got and never came back until he started his political career.
So glad the Lord took a quick break from killing 200K+ Americans so he could help Mizzou win a football game.
You went to Stanford Josh
Yes, football is EXACTLY what concerns my family the most. thanks for making that your top priority, Josh!!!!
Surprised you didn’t thank your orange lord.
College football is what you thank God for? Surprised you could think about anything but your theft of the SCOTUS.
Between all the hate and division in the country, along with the deaths of over 200,000 people in our country alone at the hand of trump and his puppets, I am sure God’s top priority was bringing football back.
Thank the Lord we know your priorities are football first, and suffering Missourians second. Thanks for clearing that up for us. From KMOV: Missouri reached 141,942 cases on Friday. At least 2,409 people have died across the state during the outbreak. #GOPHypocrisy Damn Pharisee.
Yeah, thank the lord. Could you imagine a world where the lord didn’t bring back the sec?It looks like a world where there are still 210,000 dead Americans because of Republican inaction,but there isn’t college football.That would be a terrible world. Lucky we got this world.
Haven’t killed enough of us yet, Hawley?
You have a very very small god, Joshie.
Lol, that’s what you are thankful for?
Wow. You have the tiniest conception of a deity that I’ve ever seen: someone who doesn’t care about His clergy being gassed out of their place of worship so a corrupt criminal racist rapist can hold an impious photo op, but who cares about your personal enjoyment of sports.
Your sky god has nothing to do with football, #heehawley…
Hi, Josh, are you pretending to be an MU fan or just couldn’t resist being a feckless twit?
No one gives a …. about SEC football.
How about stop trying to overturn the ACA?
Is that why over 212,000 Americans are dead because all you so called Christians were praying that your GOD bring back SEC football instead?
You don’t know shit about football
You embarrass true Christians by thinking the Lord cares about SEC football. He’s so much more concerned about caring for his flock. You are an embarrassment to Yale Law, Missouri and Christianity.
Did you wear your red and blue plaid shirt while you watched the game?
lololol jk no way did you watch the game you ridiculous fraud
The Lord had nothing to do with it you fake

Yael T. Abouhalkah: Black football players’ strike thrusts MU into national spotlight on racial unrestBy Yael T. Abouhalkah
The announced strike by black football players at the University of Missouri is far more than a sports story. It further thrusts the school into the national spotlight regarding racial unrest, especially on college campuses.
The players are seeking a huge change. They want the resignation or firing of the state’s top university official, president Tim Wolfe.
Others have called for that action — including a student engaged in a hunger strike — but the involvement of the school’s best-known sports team demonstrably increased attention to this issue….
Via Twitter, from University of Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel:
Coach Gary Pinkel @GaryPinkel
The Mizzou Family stands as one. We are united. We are behind our players. #ConcernedStudent1950 GP 11:39 AM – 8 Nov 2015
From Governor Jay Nixon:
Gov. Nixon statement regarding student protests at the University of Missouri
November 8, 2015JEFFERSON CITY – Gov. Jay Nixon today issued the following statement regarding student protests at the University of Missouri.
“Racism and intolerance have no place at the University of Missouri or anywhere in our state,” Gov. Nixon said. “Our colleges and universities must be havens of trust and understanding. These concerns must be addressed to ensure the University of Missouri is a place where all students can pursue their dreams in an environment of respect, tolerance and inclusion.”
If you speak out someone else may listen.
“Blunt backs ticket scalping. His brother appreciates it.”

Andy Blunt, baseball, football, hockey, matt blunt, missouri, repeal, scalping
That was the hilarious, yet apt, headline in today’s St. Louis Post-Dispatch. For those of you who have missed it, Matt Blunt has included a push for the repeal of Missouri’s ticket scalping law in a special session supposedly devoted to economic development. His brother Andy just happens to be a lobbyist for one of the biggest ticket brokers in the nation, Ticketmaster. The reason given for the push? “[The repeal] will be good for tourism and economic development. It will make it easier for fans to gain access to tickets in a legal and convenient secondary market.”
I’m not sure how allowing brokers to buy up seats for sporting events and concerts and charge exorbitant prices for them makes the market more convenient or better for tourism. If a really good band plays a concert, or a sports team is playing exceptionally well (sadly, neither of our states’ baseball teams is), that’s what’s good for tourism – not the fact that you can get scalped tickets.
And how naive do the Brothers Blunt think we are? Can they really claim with a straight face that their relationship has nothing to do with a bad bill being pushed through in a special session?
