They probably think god likes sports and it a competition of faiths. Which team’s fanbase prays the hardest gets gods favour.

Praying for winning sports events has always been the funniest to me. Just the idea that an omnipotent being a) cares about the outcome of a passtime, b) would use their power to affect the outcome while many suffer or die from random events they didn’t deserve, and c) does so at the expense of all the players and supporters of the other team. It’s just so audacious to pray for something so trivial.

It’s also a great indicator of the powerlessness of prayer, as only one team wins and all the other people have prayed in vain.
