Seat hopping at a sporting event is the kind of sin
that would separate someone from the Church.
Gobosox91, you're treading on dangerous ground with this post.
Certainly, seat hopping at a sporting event would 'separate' one from the
section of seats reserved for the Church Parish Ball Night Club.
I asked my priest, and he said it would depend
on whether it was Fenway Park or Yankee Stadium.
:dancing-banana:
That's the spirit, MiserereMeiDeus! I've known "devout" Red Sox and
Yankee fans who were priests, and I'm sure they would all have "a word
or two" to offer on this topic. But I'd really be interested to know, what
would they assign for your penance if you were to confess this 'sin'? :confused1:
But I have to admit, the "tension" between Angels fans and Dodger fans
is not of the same degree, especially among the clergy, so it is really
"proper" that the topic focuses on
"Fenway vs. Yankee" stadium infractions.
Some friends of mine are Irish from Brooklyn - imagine the loyalty strain
on such ones, who would likely be drawn to Boston for nothing less than
the ethnic cultural aspect alone. Their loyalty to Fenway Park stretches
across the country, since they live in Simi Valley (CA), just as their loyalty
St. Patrick stretches across the Atlantic Ocean.
