520 |a Arguments on how religion interfaces with sports are not new, and in particular, sports activity itself has been characterized as religion, namely, "cultural," "natural," "civil, "and folk. "In this article, I want to consider a recent proposal by Shirl Hoffman in Good Game: Christianity and the Culture of Sports. Hoffman attempts to reimagine how the Christian religion and sports should relate (on account of the problems of modern muscular Christianity), by justifying the sacredness of sports, in order to heal or put it back together; he appeals to sports intrinsic religious or hierarchicalspiritual value. I will argue that, in his effort to redress the problems of modern muscular Christianity, Hoffman in the endfalls prey to the same problem of dualism that has beset modern muscular Christian- ity. Specifically, dualism for Hoffman is both metaphysical and eschatological, both of which affect how he construes the human player and play itself.
