Tom Brady, Michael Strahan and Gotham Chopra return with their hit documentary “Religion of Sports” after a successful debut season.<\/p>\n
Chopra partnered with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, constructing a first-of-its-kind television documentary series called, “The Religion of Sports” running on exclusively DirecTV\u2019s Audience Network. Collaborating also with retired New York Giants defensive end, Michael Strahan, Brady and Chopra will tackle how the influence of sports has transcended culture and morphed into a religion of its own.<\/p>\n
“Sports has always been a spiritual experience for me. Pushing myself and my teammates to perform at the highest level requires a discipline and intensity that is all about mastering the self,\u201d said Brady. \u201cThat I\u2019m able to share that experience in another medium \u2013 through stories of people for whom sports is a matter of faith \u2013 has been a great thrill. I couldn\u2019t be more proud and excited that we\u2019ll be producing another season of Religion of Sports.\u201d<\/p>\n
The dedication the players show to the game is similar to the devotion many experience\u00a0within their chosen religion.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have a discipline that is nothing short of, in my opinion, spiritual devotion. The ritual they practice, their entire lives, their commitment to their craft\u2014there is something very spiritual about that I have admired,” said Chopra. We are all spiritual people and we all can connect at some level. It can be through religion, culture, music, fashion and sports. Spiritual traditions like the pilgrimages we go on, the certain dogma we follow and the faith needed in organized religion can be related to in sports. To a sports nut, faith is the foundation they thrive on.<\/p>\n
