CHRISTIAN COALITION DENOUNCES SNOWBOARDING*

30 January 2000


In a surprise announcement today, Pat Robertson's Christian Coalition denounced snowboarding as a Satanist cult aimed at undermining the moral character of America's youth.

"We know that the devil is at work in America.  And no where more so than in the sport of snowboarding," said Clozette Case spokesperson for the Coalition. "It's just filled with faggots and lesbos." 

"You know Pat and God get together on Tuesday's for tea," continued Ms. Case. "And last Tuesday God said 'Pat, you really ought to look into this snowboarding thing. It's as insidious as that purple fellow with the antenna.'  Well, you can imagine that we jumped right on it!"

The Coalition has started a task force to further investigate the connection of snowboarding to the cults of The Evil One. And, it has recruited an impressive array of allies including the Sports Coaches of America for Truth.  "Snowboarding breaks bones and smashes faces. And that only builds wholesome Christian character when it's part of a team sport like football or croquet," said Peter Humper head of SCAT.

"We're thrilled to work with SCAT in the fight for America's future," said Ms. Case. "They have long shown a willingness to get their hands dirty when times call for it. And they are so active, we expect to see SCAT everywhere."

Others are not so sure of the coalition's claims, however. "Listen bro', you can't trust those dudes. They're all freaks. The babes use too much hair spray and the guys all wear polyester and stuff," said Billy "Bad Dude" Scott, executive director of the American Men's Snowboarding Association.

But Humper was unfazed by his critics. "They wear baggy clothes and who knows what they do with their hands when they put them in those long, deep pockets!"

Ms.Case stated that snowboarding is only the first sport to be investigated for Satanist tendencies. Indeed, the Coalition intends to study all non-traditional sports. "If it's not strapping young lads smashing into each other on the field and slapping each others buttocks or perky girls dashing about in short skirts, we think it's suspect." said Case. "The Satanist homosexuals are everywhere. And we won't stop until all American sports are as free of them as the LPGA."
