Rick brashly flaunts my prohibition:

To prove total depravity, I only need to look at the following:

1. NFL officiating, especially when the Steelers involved in the Super Bowl.

2. Terrel Owens picking up a new contract.

3. The 14 wins the NCAA is trying to take from Saint Bobby Bowden.

4. The multiple Grammys for Coldplay and John Mayer.

5. Britney Spears selling out our local 20K venue when innovative music fests in Florida (Langeradoo)are cancelled.

How else can you explain this?

How can we explain these things unless there is total depravity, at
least in the area of sports. Unless god created everything and walked
away. I think I cannot believe in a sovereign sports God in light of
this.

I am a Sports/Music Deist. Of course, the lack of World Series wins
for the Cubbies still give me a small amount of faith in God.

Sorry- I saw your threat of banning as a challenge.
