Whatever happened to separation of church and state and no religion in the schools?

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

That only applies to you and me.....

They can't play any of the "skill" positions, because they're not allowed to touch the "pig skin".

Working it out meant getting the approval of school and district administrators and the blessings of players, parents and police. Then, there were the residents in the surrounding neighborhood, who would hear more noise and see the illuminated field. So he sent letters explaining the decision.

Screw 'em all. This is sickening.

It’s Dearbornistan. What could you expect?

[thethirddegree]

Dearborn is a Muslim sewer that badly needs to be cleaned out.

The girls swimming team?
Will they have to practice and compete wearing Burkinis?

[cranked]

Would they do this for Christians or any other religion?

[earlJam]

What about Sunday practices for Christians?

Saturday games for Jews?

[kanawa]

Can’t recover a fumble? What good is he?

[Cyman]

Where in the friggin hell is the ACLU in this?

Many people only eat one meal a day and a good number only eat one large balanced meal every 2-3 days.

This is another reason why Islam is a counterfeit substitute for a relationship with God. It seeks to portray itself as holy in its appearance, but in substance it fails to address justice in righteousness.

So what if they only eat at night for a 40 day period? Not the same as fasting for 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness, or even fasting for 2 days and nights. IMHO, the more they clamor about Ramadan, the more debt they heap upon their own heads, because it is a false modesty and claim of obedience.

At the time I went there U.S. Grant High in N.Hollywood Ca.if was a vast majority Jewish. Other High school football teams would look forward to olaying us cause let’s face it Jews push education. Football? Not so much.
Course other high schools didn’t care to show up for debates with us.
Got to wonder if other Highschool teams will look forward to trying to rip these guys heads off?

[Mouton]

Another story for the Ramadadingdong folder.

[bunkerhill7]

Hey- They never had night basketball practice during Lent when I was fasting! Hey! wth going on here crap/?

[parthian shot]

After hearing this, if I were a High School or College coach, I would double dog dare any court in the land to tell me that I couldn't say a Christian prayer with the team before the game! Tell the ACLU to go pound sand!

National Anthem, Star Spangle Banner, Pledge of Allegiance, give it the works!

[MattinNJ]

Ha. I couldn't touch the rock because I sucked.

True story. I played DT in Div 3. (Big, fat, white guy in the middle). I , quite by accident, ran into the other teams RB-hard. He coughed up the ball on our 2 yard line. I jumped on it. My friend-to this day-still breaks my chops because he ran in from his safety spot where he was about to scoop up the ball and go 98 yards to the house. There was literally no one between him and the end zone except me. It was quite clear on videotape.

Oops. My bad, Dog.

[Pilated]

Thank goodness there are NO muslims in county, city, town or neighborhood!

scoop up the ball and go 98 yards to the house

D backs, they're almost as bad as wide recievers with their showboating.

Football 101: what do you do when there's a fumble? FALL! ON! THE! FOOTBALL!!!
