Is football the Christian religion?

I just had a Christian client come in and say that the house he is moving into has an open basement, so he is planning on making it a football room. He is planning on putting a big screen on one end and have helmets down each side under museum lighting. So, this man is dedicating half of his house to football?

I think football is a major religion in the US. There is the social tailgating, the whole fan culture where you express yourself in relation to the team you support by wearing colors and decorating your home and vehicle. It is definitely structured as a form of worship.
