Amar'e

So Amar'e Stoudamire is trying to discover his Jewish identity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQPJ1Ujo7_U As a Jew, I'm slightly amused by this. Maybe he'll be spotted in a Moses piece? Religion as a whole occupies a strange place in sports. Players always thank God after a win but does anyone actually believe God is a Knicks or a Packers fan? Notre Dame fans attend a special mass held before football games. I suppose that thinking God wants you to win the World Series is less harmful than thinking God wants you to run for office or commit genocide. But if there is a God, what would he want?
