Sporting people and the signs they makeàa

I notice that many sportspeople when entering the field cross themselves and point upwards and I wonder why and if any or even some of them have ever seen the inside of a church

Some one should tell them that God is not a lucky charm, bloody hypocrites.

I saw someone do this the other day [can't recall who]. I assume it's more of a "This one's for you " sign when a family member has died

I remember now! it was Djokovic when he won Wimbledon. he wears a cross and chain showing he's a Christian so perhaps he was thanking God for his good fortune.
