While at the FYS Display Day, one of the classes caught my eye. That happened to be The Global Religion of Professional Athletics taught by Dr. Rev. Justin Allen. This class caught my attention because it involved two of the biggest parts of my life, athletics and religion. The main focus of this class is to determine whether a specific sport is considered a religion. Each student at the display day had created a pamphlet on a sport of their choice. They discussed facts about the sport, facts about the religion, similarities between the two, differences, and a conclusion.
Sports and religion have been a huge part of my life growing up. I was a three sport athlete in high school and attended a Catholic church weekly. Religion has always been a part of my athletics because I pray before each game. I never actually thought of my sports being a religion themselves. By reading the different pamphlets, I understand exactly how sports can be considered a religion. I think this would be a really interesting class to take because of my interest in these two topics.
