AUGUSTA, Ga. -Chicken wings, pizza, and sandwiches and for some side of fellowship. Many make it a tradition to watch the big game with fellow worshipper. But soon the NFL could be changing that tradition.

“I think they should keep the tradition. I think it’s a great tradition,” said Marvin Head organizer of Super Bowl watch at Whole Life Ministries.

Football and fellowship, Super Bowl watch parties being held in church is a tradition for many. It's a tradition the NFL is trying to break, by cracking down on some of the rules. The NFL Network says some churches are charging to view the game, and they are showing it on big screen TV’s both which are against copyright rules.

“I hate that some people have actually added some bad blood into it by charging people, we would never do anything like that to take away from the football game itself,” said Head.

“That's a money issue the way that you describe it and that's no good reason to stop Americans from coming together and fellowship with another,” said Horace Carney a participant.

Members say that it's more than just watching a game.

“I don't see any reason to ban the church and to come against the church and trying to get together and just have some good clean fun and fellowship among members,” said Aaron Cohrs a participant.

The NFL says as long as churches follow the rules the tradition can live on.

In Indianapolis a church was charging members and viewers at their church to watch the game, and the church gathering was shut down.
