Patrick McCaskey, grandson of the founder of the Bears, the great George Halas, established an organization, Sports Faith International, to promote the value of sports in forming Christian virtue. The following is an interview he had with the Catholic news agency Zenit. I love the quote he gives from his grandfather:
Once in a speech I heard him say: “Sixty years ago I offered my heart and my helmet to the Lord. My heart is still beating and my helmet still fits. I pray the Divine Coach finds me worthy to be on his first team.” Full interview is here.
