26% of Fans Directly "Blame" God For Seahawks Losing The Super Bowl

Does divine intervention play a role in the outcome of sporting events? After losing the Super Bowl 28-24 to the New England Patriots, some fans of the Seattle Seahawks may think so.

According to a survey conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute, one in four Americans thinks God has a role in determining the winner of a sports event.


When it comes to deflated footballs, however, they might have a different opinion.

That's ridiculous :) People can't blame God for everything. LOL

I wonder how many thanked God for the Patriots winning?

Probably the same people who also believe that 2 pounds of air pressure makes a significant difference and that the Patriots "cheated" against the Colts. Most sports fans are clueless and would be shocked at how many players/teams actually bend the rules to get an edge.

You are talking about a country where 42% are creationists, so shouldn't be too surprising.
