    I know Americans thank god quite a lot but do they really thank god when they win in sports too? It feels like it would be out of place.

      They do. All the time. Not just at the end, but during the game if they make a good play, they’ll point to the sky. It’s insane. Sports and religion, especially American football and religion, are deeply intertwined in this country. It’s one of the reasons I’ve never really gotten much into sports.
