Does Your Church Host a Super Bowl Party?
If so, you might want to read this article from the Wall Street Journal. If you're a print subscriber, the article is on page W1 of today's paper (2/2/08).
The article explains how the NFL is battling some churches over their use of the name "Super Bowl" and the use of the game images on screens larger than 55 inches. Another issue centers around whether churches can have a message at halftime.
The battle goes back to February of last year when a church in Indianapolis planed a party on a 12-foot screen but was stopped by the league.
Some churches have altered their plans to comply with the rules of the league, while others have canceled their plans altogether. A few politicians have asked the NFL to change their rules to allow churches to have outreach events.
