Preferably, the emphasis should be on the sport rather than the religious aspect. Notably, they *don't* have to be overwhelmingly positive, just Christian motifs. Here are a few examples I've found: Baseball: - Life Is a Ballgame by Wynona Carr (listen) - Will You Be Ready At the Plate by Young Country (listen) Football: - Drop-Kick Me Jesus by Bobby Bare (listen) Track: - The Race by Flip Wilson (listen) |

Here's one called THE GAME WAS PLAYED ON SUNDAY: This is sung to the accompanying tune at Cortland Normal School, and was sung to me [Sherle R. Goldstone] by Ruth Lerman, Cortland graduate of 1933. (College Songs That Are Unprinted (for Obvious Reasons) by Sherle R. Goldstone, term paper, 1934 |
