Players are cut from NFL squads based on what they say on [[social media]], and the [[Super Bowl]] no longer showcases the top talent.  Additional reasons for unplugging the NFL include how it bilks taxpayers for an estimated $1 billion annually and even got the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] to waste money on searching for a player's jersey in [[Mexico]] in 2017.  The NFL canceled a Grammy-award winning singer from performing the [[National Anthem]] at its opening game on Sept. 9, 2021 (and refused to pay her fee), because she has a religious exemption from the [[COVID vaccine]].

Grown men deserve mockery when they pretend that there is anything meaningful about the NFL.  Compulsive coaching dictates who wins, and watching an NFL game today is as pointless as watching people (coaches) play a [[video game]].  Owners and coaches increasingly seem to prefer players who cheat rather than the best athletes.  Herschel Walker, one of the greatest athletes ever, is excluded from the NFL Hall of Fame despite having had a tremendous career.  The top recruits out of college rarely realize their potential by playing in the NFL anymore, and almost none of the top athletes in the league get to play on [[Super Bowl Sunday]].

A homily (the famous "De Aleatoribus") long ascribed by St. Cyprian, but by modern scholars variously attributed to Popes Victor I, Callistus I, and Melchiades, and which undoubtedly is a very early and interesting monument of Christian antiquity, is a vigorous denunciation of gambling. The Fourth Lateran Council (1215), by a decree subsequently inserted in the "Corpus Juris", forbade clerics to play or to be present at games of chance. Some authorities, such as Aubespine, have attempted to explain the severity of the ancient canons against gambling by supposing that idolatry was often connected with it in practice.
