Stumbling Block

a possible Scenario:

Joey is trusting Christ alone for His salvation. He loves Gator football. He has no problem enjoying the games and pageantry (and recruiting trail!) as a recreation/hobby kind of thing. He usually doesn't neglect his responsibilities and lose himself in the Gators.

Sam is trusting Christ alone for His salvation. He loves Gator football. He struggles mightily with going headlong into it. He's missed being with his church family the last 3 Sundays in worship because that is when Sunshine replays the game. Sam has just informed Joey that he might drop his Community Group because it comes on during the Urban Meyer mid-week radio call-in show.

Dan is trusting Christ alone for His salvation. He thinks Gator football is mindless and chooses to abstain totally. Dan's hobby is fast cars and rolls his eyes whenever talk of Gator football comes up. In fact, because he knows Sam is starting to drift... Dan is wondering if maybe everybody at church should swear-off Gator football.

How should Joey relate to Sam? to Dan?
