Snoop Dogg Gets All Philanthropic

Could it be true? First the lead guitarist for Korn quits to follow Christ. Now, not as dramatic, but perhaps, is Snoop Dogg changing his colors and becoming...good?

I read this story today about how Snopp Dogg created a youth football league to keep kids involved in summer sports. He showers the kids with attention, presents, and pay the entry requirements that keep poorer families out.

Why'd he do it? Because football meant something to him.

Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, has deep roots in youth football, having played for the Long Beach Poly Junior Jackrabbits. "It taught me how to work with other kids," he says, "how to have a relationship, how to learn. My coach taught me about religion as well as football, about keeping God in everything we did."

So clearly Snoop ignored that last advice for a long while. It's hard to imagine God wanting anything to do with "Girls Gone Wild" or most of the message of Snoop's earlier stuff.

But still. I sense a change. First teaming up with clean-act Will Smith. Maybe Snoop's at the end of his hedonism, and like Solomon, is finding out that nothing satisfies. Maybe he's searching for meaning.

Wouldn't it be awesome if Snoop became a follower of Christ?

Crazier things have happened.
