Even harder to forgive those who have no intention of apologizing. Or this has been my experience, I must confess.

Hm... "Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.” - Luke 17:3-4 (ESV)(Emphasis mine).

You are to forgive whether "he" repents or not.
That isn't what the text I posted says BethAnne. Do you have an alternative text?
Good morning Redbaron and all. There is indeed a big football game. It is an American football game and it is very important to the public. Each year Americans are glued to the point of having their lives in industrial production.
Let's kick it around to see what the sole understanding beneath it reveals ... a subtle thought of the conceiving demon?
The stuff one shouldn't conceive of in a domain where emotions are the roués of the Dais ... hermeneutics at a peak ... or depressed point as a intent support to keep things confined on either side of the fabric ... some with levity some shadowy ...
There a lot of people who could care less about the football game and just watch for the commercials and/or the half-time show. Football is such a violent sport. I find no pleasure in that. Many injuries occur in the middle of the game.
When I see football, I always think that it is a great way to get some food. The game itself is not a good idea. How carnal fans of the blood stream must be. Fans should go see the movie Concussion and realize that it is possible to get out of the following.
Are you suggesting our modern games are a macho sad*eistic as the Roman Circe? The other side of in S'N in Hebrew as how to raise hate against the alternate team trying to survive. Then some that pear into the darkness of the heartland of mankind ... see a death wish ... fulfillment of merci kilt?
A spin or a wind can lift it --- N Rockwell art expression with a leg onite! If envisioned at distance a booty not to be touched in essence unless by mutual invitation, or only if you know what your are to integrate with as aggregate socialism. The scratch creation of hosts?

Football appeals to the worst in human nature. That doesn't mean I don't think it can't be redeemed. Pro-football should be changed immediately to flag football. End the violent tackling. Also, it should be played by teams who are interested in working on world peace.
Soccer is an alternate ... then the crowd can take up the hostilities ...
Tell me real humanity is not an odd, or Gae thing!
I revel in being primarily imaginary ... at least abstract ... and gathering statically as a slothful sole ... sometimes a devilfish? Mantas incarnation!

I very much disagree. There is a great difference between the goals of the game and how some play it. Just as there may, at times, be a huge difference between Christianity and how Christians attempt to live it out.
There is a brute element to the sport. Brutality is not encouraged, in fact, it is penalized.
Tackling is not the problem. Disrespect is the problem.
I spent many a summer's day (and autumnal day and winter's day) knocking the very best of my friends down and being knocked down by them. Many bruises, a few cuts (maybe somebody took a stitch or two) at least one tooth was misplaced. None of that translated into anything but better friendship and lasting admiration.
It may be a more primal enterprise. Knocking folk down or, alternatively, getting knocked down by them. In the end it is hard to disrespect someone who brought as much to the game as you hoped to and played the game with as much honour as you brought. Even if they aren't ultimately doing that alongside of you.
Some of the best friendships I formed during my highschool wrestling career were the guys at the other schools I spent most of my time trying to pin or not be pinned by.
Not everyone brings honour to the sport (whatever the sport might be) those people are harder to respect.
So much of professional athleticism is geared towards individual attention. I don't think that any kind of sport needs the level of show-boating and hot-dogging we are exposed to. Fortunately, most sports are nowhere near to footy in this regard.
