SPORTS    VS       RELIOGION

 
 Religion is a very strong point to rise within sports because we do not come from the same religion or family backgrounds. It is difficult to involve religion in a team because not everyone belongs to the same religion, it would be better if you involve your religion where you know that you are participating as an individual or if you are part of a team that belongs to the same religion.
 Religion is very important to boxing champion Manny Pacquiao. http://www.content.usatoday.com/
Manila – Philippine boxing hero Manny Pacquiao said on Monday 19th March 2012 that he had been told by God in a dream to retire soon, potentially raising doubt over hopes of a fight with American Floyd Mayweather. (19th March 21, 2012 IOL News Live)

Religion in the Philippines
More than 90% of the population are Christians: about 80% belong to the Roman Catholic Church while 10% belong to other Christian denominations, such as the Iglesiani Cristo, the Philippine Independent Church, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, United Church of Christ in the Philippines, and Jehovah's Witnesses.[138] The Philippines is one of two predominantly Roman Catholic countries in Asia, the other being East Timor.www.google.Philipine

Pacquiao, the world's best pound-for-pound fighter does not care if he is the best or not, he is following his believe. Does this mean that we will be having a lot of sports stars that will be leaving sports because of religion?

  1. A believe is a believe,If you believe you are the best boxer because god made you that way it is also possible that when retire you may say god want me to retire.I think religion can be applied in sports.
