Football and God

At one of Troy’s checkups, the doctor told us that Troy should absolutely not be allowed to watch any TV. I assume he meant that we shouldn't turn into those parents that just plop their child in front of a mechanical device and let that raise them instead. I’m pretty sure that when he said that that he didn’t mean to exclude football or church! Because if there’s two things that I want to instill in my son it’s a love for football and God, but obviously not in that order. And Troy already enjoys chilling on the couch, nestled in my arms, and watching both with me. He gets agitated when our team is losing, and he even sings during the church service.  He has a good voice, but I'm pretty sure he's not singing the same lyrics.

I've wanted to ask the doctor about this TV mandate, but I am afraid of his answer. I mean what if he's not into football or God? GASP! Can I really rely on a long-held belief that both football and God are important to everyone in Texas? It seems like ignorance is bliss in this situation. I can go on believing that his intent did not include these two things and go on enjoying both with my son.
