Professional sports is all about money. The games, the wins, and the championships do not matter, for these are illusions they use to get fans hooked to get their money.
Religion also uses illusions to get people hooked to get their money.
Sports teams and religions are rich and stay rich because of the power of illusion: none of it is real, but it looks real in the eyes of the fans and in the eyes of the congregations of religion. They believe it is real and therefore they keep giving their money. They have been deceived and they have been tricked.
But if the money of professional sports and religions disappeared, the teams and the religions would collapse and fall because they operate under the power of money.
The only difference, however, between professional sports teams and religion is found in the fact that religion gets their souls.
"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of this world, and not after Christ." (Colossians 2: 8)
