It is common knowledge that this is the current trend among our youths today and even the elders have not been left out of this phenomenon. My question nairalanders is whether it comstitutes a sin or not.

Which kind sin. E be like say u never dey in serious need b4. If u dey in need, you go know say no be sin to use the knowledge of football dat u have to earn urself some money. Even pastors dey full there weh go say holy spirit tell dem say man-u go win.

That's even for fans. What of those who dropped out of sch and disobeyed their parents to play football even on sundays. Na so yobo take start. Now na him be biggest boi 4 hm family

I wish this can make FP. I had this argument with my Pastor the other day. I'll really like to know other's opinion on this.

Why i would like to know this is because today in most bible believing churches even the workers are into this trade. As a result, the ordinary member sees every excuse to join this trend. I don't want to conclude that they are being misguided.
