Since football players started thanking God after football games, there have been others to say that God doesn't care who wins or loses a football game.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers joined the chorus last January. Russell Wilson told The MMQB's Peter King after the Seattle Seahawks' NFC championship game victory over Rodgers and the Packers, "That’s God setting it up, to make it so dramatic, so rewarding, so special." Wilson also thanked God while he was crying on the field during a postgame interview on Fox.
"I don’t think God cares a whole lot about the outcome," Rodgers said days later in an interview with ESPN Wisconsin's Jason Wilde. "He cares about the people involved, but I don’t think he’s a big football fan."
Rodgers, who isn't known for thanking God after games, is a smart guy and he also seems to carry grudges. So he seemed to have a pretty sly crack for Wilson teed up and ready to go after the Packers beat the Seahawks on Sunday night.
"And then getting help from God," Rodgers said. "I think God was a Packers fan tonight."
Maybe Rodgers, in the last eight months, changed his mind and decided that God cared about NFL outcomes. Most likely, it was a subtle comment directed towards the losing quarterback.
