In my opinion, the prayer before a football game is more a matter of traditon than religious fervor. And I say that having observed the phenomenon here in TX as a definite outsider, because the ship had sailed on this issue long ago in IN, where I grew up, way before my time.
I agree, Sally....it was just a tradition where I grew up (Kansas). This is mainly what I was getting at when I suggested "moment of silence". I honestly don't think it's a big deal to do it or not to do it (pray) before a game. I don't care if the Muslim guy nexts to me faces Mecca and prays to Allah, either before the game starts. The bigger issue to me here is that our country is being consumed with trying to keep people from being "offended" in public venues; and most ANYTHING seems to be fair game these days. Truly, I think this gone WAY too far. What every happened to the days of just being a good old red-white-and-blue American? I don't think our country's founders would have ever wanted it to be the way it's become.
