It struck me yesterday that these oligarchs wouldn't get involved in sports franchises, unless they could own all the teams, thereby guaranteeing victory for themselves.
Such is the meaning of fair play to these misers, as much as it exists in the world.
To carry the sports analogy a step further, athletics were devised to keep military combatants in good physical conditioning during times of peace.
"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable." (1 Corinthians 9:24-25 ESV)
and,
"For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written,
“As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall confess to God.”
So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.
(Romans 14:10b-12 ESV)
God will be their judge.
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."(Ephesians 6:12 ESV)
