Rainbow Man Hated Sports
Even as far back as 1980 when I first met him, I was astounded that Rollen actually hated sports. After all, he'd be seated behind home plate at the World Series or shown on
eleven Monday Night Football games in a row, or at most of the PGA stops in Florida or California. These would be the meccas for sports junkies.
Before being Born Again in January, 1980, Rollen's goal was to be "the most famous person in the world that no one knows anything about."
Afterwards, he felt his mission was to give the message of John 3:16 to all those whose attitude was: "I don't know anything about Jesus - I only watch sports." Now they would have no excuses, according to Rollen, because whenever they would watch sports, they would constantly see "John 3:16."
