Wednesday Morning Quarterback

Sports culture dominates. And sports culture invites everyone to participate, not just the athletes on the field/court. We know what plays to run better than the coaches. We know who not to put on Dirk to defend the last shot. We know who should have won American Idol, who the best star dancer was. And we are even allowed to "vote" on who should win.

Sports culture spilled over this week into the legal field. Millions of 13th jurors decided that the 12 jurors on the field made the wrong move. We know better than them. From the 30 scattered minutes I watched, she was clearly guilty. And I know the law inside and out and I am never influenced by the media nor Facebook.

So we are mad and sad. Mad at the injustice. Sad for the little girl. But we are a Christian nation and so its ok because (and here I summarizing about 50 FB posts)...

God will get her someday.

Its Osama all over again. Except this time, we didn't get the satisfaction of revenge killing but our God will.

Dear followers of Jesus Christ, is this really a helpful message? Is this the way that Christ would want us to respond to the situation?

When I read one FB posts that says "I hope Casey knows that God loves her and will forgive her" I will leave the bench and enter this game.
