The purpose of the school is to bring glory to God and to train Champions for Christ to go out into the workforce. I agree that you can enjoy and cheer on the athletics without accepting this. But please don't try to change it.

Look, ill be the first to say, what he intended was for a good thing, the way Jerry Sr. went about it was not the best. I won't get into a bible preaching war with you, but you can best believe Jerry Sr. said alot of things that were not for the purpose of bringing glory to god persay. He made some downright ignorant comments that, lets be honest a supposed christian wouldn't say, and would/could be refuted by his own bible. But those were his opinions and you cant change that. He was human just like the rest of us, so we all may have said things or done things that you probably wish you could take back. It put the "University" he so beloved in a bad light, that Jerry Jr. has had to try and dig out of. He has done that by in large and the University is prospering. Noone is trying to change anything, they know what they signed up for when they accepted the acceptance letter into LU.
