Charles Camosy has an interesting retort to David Brooks regarding Jeremy Lin, the surprise star of the NBA. (Of course, Lin's surprise stardom is almost, but not quite, as surprising as the fact that Lin, and evangelical Christian, made it through Harvard with his faith in tact!) I tend to agree with Camosy that team sports are a daily demonstration of relational anthropology, but I also have to admit that every time I see an ad for today's gladiators in those horrible cages bludgeoning each other to near-death, I shudder.
