The Westboro Baptist Church plans to picket Sunday night's game between the Cowboys and the New York Jets.

The anti-gay religious group, which is famous for picketing military funerals, said in a press release that "the entertainment industry is a microcosm of the people of this doomed nation: hard-hearted, Hell-bound, and hedonistic to the max. ... You have no proper thoughts of the God that created you, but we'll be there to make sure you don't forget when we haul your rebellious carcasses into the New Meadowlands Stadium to watch God-hating fools do their shtick (sic)."

Apparently the NFL is a type of entertainment that the group does not approve of.

The Jersey Journal obtained the press release and reported the story on Wednesday.

Well, cockroaches usually run from the light...I say turn every spotlight in the stadium on them, that ought to send them back to the garbage cans they crawled out of.

I've got news for these f-ers.
You're in for a sad awakening when NY/NJ Jet fans get ahold of you.
You'll be praying hard for sure.

Before you antagonize these fans, you better check on your medical and get all your affairs in order.

AND There's 16 NFL games this week. (not to mention games each week all season).
I suppose they picked this one because it's the game of the week.

No way on earth they are going to do this every week,.

You know what I don't get about these people? If America is doomed, we are all going to Hell, and there's nothing we can do about it, what is the point of the protestings? I mean, most religious people like this at least tell us to repent or how to repent. This people give us no hope whatsoever. So, why do they bother?

They need to get a life....

Westboro Baptist makes Jim Bakker look like Billy Graham! (I know I shouldn't use a TV Preacher in the same sentence with Graham...and Billy Graham isn't even a TV Preacher)!

God should send every Westboro Member to Limbo (1st Ring of Hell)!

Don't any of these people have jobs? How do they afford travel, accomodations, food, etc.?

See, you put thought into this. You bring up very good points - and I bet the Westboro people would not have a decent answer to give you!!
