I was struck by the juxtaposition of two articles about Super Bowl viewing in the Feb. 1 Post. A front-page article, "NFL Pulls Plug on Big-Screen Church Parties for Super Bowl," described how the NFL has threatened legal action if churches show the game to their congregations on large TV screens. In the Weekend section, "Big Screens and Big Specials for the Big Game" provided a listing of sports bars and hotels where crowds can gather (and pay) to see the game.
Apparently, according to NFL policy, it's okay to watch the event as part of the bar scene but not as part of a church crowd. What's the message here?
