Pastor Dolapo Lawal Sparks Outrage Calling Arsenal ‘Cursed’

I am deeply disappointed—not by football, but by what unfolded at Zoe Household. Many saw the laughter and trending clips, but few grasped the real issue: a pastor proclaiming on the pulpit that Arsenal was “cursed,” claiming they couldn’t win “even with a 29-point gap,” and mocking anyone who would marry an Arsenal fan. When criticism grew, he denied his words were serious, calling them “banter” and even claimed he no longer followed football—an attempt to rewrite what he clearly said. Now he has issued a “public apology” and announced a thanksgiving service for Arsenal fans, yet this feels more like sarcasm than genuine repentance. True accountability on the pulpit demands more than mockery.
