Err no, there is no cart nor a horse...how you have got carts and horses into this is funny. No, actually what you have posted is a load of obfuscation and waffle.
Here is what you said:
[b]“No, no righteous man would pray for that” (his team to win).
So you are in fact saying that any person who prays for their team to win is unrighteous a ...[text shortened]... billions under your partisan hammer.
Nice one...
PS ever prayed for your team to win? 😉[/b]

I think what she's saying is that if a man is righteous, he would pray for more important things and not be bothered praying about a sports event.
Maybe you're confused with the way she phrased it.
In order to be CALLED 'righteous', one must actually BE righteous. But, not being righteous does not mean one is UNrighteous. Every day on this website I marvel at all the Brits here who have an astonishingly loose grasp of their own language.

Just my 2 cents.
A sports team winning a game, especially a championship, is no little thing. Millions are affected and enormous sums of money changes hands. Something that impactful would likely not fly under God's radar. My opinion.

Originally posted by @suzianneNo offense but what you just said by reasonable deduction is, if someone prays for their team to win, they are not righteous, i.e. unrighteous.

I would rather hear someone say something like, "Praying for your team to win is not exactly the most righteous thing you could do."
Boil this down. If praying for a team is unrighteous or as someone else implied, too petty and we should pray for greater things, for others' lives to improve in some way. Then praying for a raise or a promotion also qualifies. Praying for anything selfish.. like praying for the tornado not to tear YOUR house down.. or for God to improve YOUR personal health... would be unrighteous and petty. If you take it all the way down the slippery slope, we're all unrighteous unless we pray for grandiose things like world peace and the end to world hunger.

In effect you are lumping all people who have prayed into this one unrighteousness group. I got called “bigoted” for doing that yesterday....I doubt you will be called it though.

“No, no righteous man would pray for that.” (Their team to win)
By default you are grouping all people who have prayed for their team into an unrighteousness category, which seems to be a harsh generalisation to me. I wouldn’t call you bigoted though.
