Heresy or Hilarity?
By Chad
Here at TheWayItCouldBe.com, we like to throw out a t-shirt image from time to time and hear your response. Here is last month’s shirt. Here is a picture of a t-shirt add for Dallas Maverick’s Dirk Nowitzki. So… Heresy or Hilarity??
In case you aren’t a Mavs fan, here is the real life Dirk…
Ok, your vote. Heresy or Hilarity on the t-shirt?? Offensive or not? Ready, set, vote!

I think sports have their own religious quality in this country. The emotions, actions, community spirit, and passion are often more intense than anything I have felt in church for years. I don’t think that is right and for me, I had to stop watching most sporting events because it became an act of worship and idolatry for me.
That being said, the shirt is just silly. Does it use some form of religious imagery yes but I am not sure that is enough to qualify as heresy or blasphemy.
i think it’s funny, no harm.
Not offensive, not heresy, not funny. It just is….
I am from Germany and we can be very happy with Dirk Nowotzki. A German is known as a superstar inside the leading basketball league around the world. Everyone is delighted how the Us americans celebrate “all of our” Dirk. This might be less recognized in the states.
