Where is the reverence for Cowboy Stadium?

John Sewell of Ft. Worth is upset with country singer Tim McGraw. Since his letter to the editor was short, I'll just print the whole thing here:

"Tim McGraw is a popular entertainer, but he shows up at the finest stadium in America and shares the stage with the most elegant piano champion in the world . . .and he wears his yard work rags? Disgraceful. Somebody get him a decent manager."

I couldn't help but think of the people in our church who wear flip-flops, ripped jeans, shorts, and skimpy tops that look much more appropriate for the beach. Yet no one seems to think that's irreverent in a house of God. But show up on the sacred ground of the football stadium dressed inappropriately, and you'll certainly get a dressing down!
