Why would anyone...?

Yes, current events.

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "They really loathe a particular team or player. Or perhaps they are very superstitious, and it's a ritual to bring luck to their favorites?"

Response to comment [from a Christian]: [Why would anyone...deny something that they know everyone knows the truth about?] "Love of darkness.  To some people what they believe is more important than knowing the truth."

Why would anyone love darkness rather than light? Jn 3:19

Deceit, deceivers, deception--are signs of the latter days (1 Ti 4:1).

Pride is an issue in self-deception (Jer. 49:16). Men deceive themselves (1 Co 3:18, Ja 1:22).

They don't wanna come to Jesus. Lk 7:22-23, 1 Pe 2:8, Jn 15:24
