Of course- that’s because modern sports were built on a Christian worldview. In ancient Rome, Christians were repulsed by the sporting events because of their callous disregard for human life. The difference between NASCAR and a chariot race is that NASCAR actually includes safety measures to protect the drivers, whereas it was a regular event for charioteers to die in the arena. Chariots were, after all, weapons of war, not vehicles.
