This decision was correct, and I’m pretty militant about church-state separation. This wasn’t coercive.
Coach Kennedy won on free exercise and free speech grounds. One man kneeling alone does not establish a government church.
Coach Kennedy literally told students who asked to join him, “This is a free country. You can do what you want.”
It is telling who disagrees, the 3 DNC-sponsored justice’s! Libs believe that a 30 second individual prayer after a high school football game constitutes the establishment of a state-sponsored church.
The justices got it right.
If it’s your contention that a player would feel obligated to participate in a prayer in order to get playing time, I’d actually point the finger at you as one who doesn’t understand sports. Leftists assume the world is a political ladder; it’s why they excel, for instance, at corporate backstabbing. Meritocracy is a Republican’s game. Good coaches don’t give a flying frig what your religion is; they’re interested in your forty yard time, conditioning, and strength.

If we wanted to actually have a discussion about this case, try this question: Based on the Bremerton case, where is the line? Say there is an Eighth Grade teacher who, after the kids recite the rote and largely meaningless Pledge, just needs to immediately follow it with the Lord's Prayer in order to center him/herself for the demands of the rest of the day? Assume he/she is absolutely in earnest; that is, he/she really believes it helps get her/him through the day. Is this OK? Can the school direct him or her not to do so? Twelve and 13 year old Christians, Jews, Muslims and None of the Aboves in the classroom.
Get ready for the test cases that push the envelope here. The whole purpose of the SCOTUS is to stabilize what the law is. This Clown Crowd of culture warriors does exactly the opposite. The Roberts Court will go down in history as the most divisive Court in history.

If the football players were forced to pray at midfield, you’d have a point. They weren’t, and you don’t.
On the other hand, the very young children in school with gender queer theory instruction and drag Queen story hours are forced to participate. There’s no out. They are quite literally trapped inside a classroom and the LGBTQIA nonsense is an actual part of the curriculum.
You're LYING, Pete. You'd lose your mind if that happened. "Well, we told the children that they were welcome to leave". Right.
BTW, my obviously closeted friend.......the drag Queen story hours have happened at Libraries, not schools. And naturally, you told us that that was wrong, and shouldn't be allowed.
But you don't care, because you approve of the indoctrination.
You’re not serious, right?!? We are talking about kids as young as 3. You want them to just head on outside as if they don’t have a care in the world? Even when a teacher tells them they need to be in the classroom? Ayfkm?

Nope. That's what YOU are arguing, Pete.

Of course, this isn't what you're saying at all. It's fine to indoctrinate if you like what they're saying. If you don't like what they're saying...out comes the whining.
What's hilarious This football coach is on my dime. His school and the State he's in gets funds from the Federal Government.
So this man is on the .gov payroll, AT WORK, preaching to kids.
And gee whiz, what a "coincidence" that the Justices who voted to allow this are all Christians.

The question I'd like you to ponder is: would your community support that same Rainbow Tshirt without complaint. If the answer is yes, good on ya. If the answer is "no" (and we both know that's a no-go in many of our communities)....now you know why the left is fighting for their rights, and in many cases, fighting for their lives.
