The churches were only using the game as a special event that they wanted to promote.

Churches, however, do not. What is odd is the 55" "Law." Is that really a law? So when you watch a game at a store that sells 62" TVs, is the store breaking the law? Seems really odd. As far as bad publicity, unfortunately, this happened too close to the game to get a big stir going. In 2 days, no one will care any more until next year.
