Football as Religion

What is Sounders Religion? It is treating Qwest as a cathedral and feeling that our time spent there is sacred. As the famous quote says, football is much more important than life and death. Nations can take flight or crumble on the whim of one kick. The things that take place on that holy pitch can bring the greatest joy or the most immense pain. Our players have the opportunity to become saints, immortalized for the rest of eternity, or villians, forever banished in the hearts and minds of the dedicated supporters.

There is nothing else like it in all of sports. If you've seen a glimpse of the heavens as you celebrated a goal, then you know how it feels.
