When the Clemson Tigers take on Alabama's Crimson Tide for the Football Bowl Subdivision national championship tonight, at least one group will be watching for something other than the final score on the field.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation [FFRF], a highly litigious atheist group, looks to sue Clemson University over the role head football coach Dabo Swinney's Christian faith plays in how he runs the program.

The only problem is the group can't find a current or former player willing to step up as a plaintiff.

It’s going to test our faith not to applaud when God pronounces eternal punishment on this bunch on Judgment Day.

These knuckleheads are going after or Police Dept here for allowing a “Pray for a Cop” outreach. I have been told that they will be told to Pound Sand.

Hmm, I wonder who complains more about Christians, muslims or FFRF.

The FFRF complains about Christians.

another snip from the article:

Elliott asserted that the Clemson football program violates the establishment clause of the First Amendment, but responded by laughing when Breitbart News asked how specifically the Clemson football program violates the establishment clause of the First Amendment.

“What news station are you with?” he asks.

“That makes a lot of sense,” he responds when told Breitbart News, before immediately hanging up.

My point is that they’re both intolerant to any view but their own.

There’s intolerant and then there’s genocidal.
Lumping them together seems ... intolerant.

Intolerance usually at some point leads to genocide.

You think the FFRF wouldn't want Christians dead?

It's a rhetorical question.

After their semifinal victory Swinney said in an interview that, “God is great”. The interviewer said, “Yes, but [player’s name] is greater”.

The FFRF should be banned and its members prosecuted under the RICO Act. Thanks don-o.

Atheists are the children of Marx, and the enemies of America.

Dear FFRF, are you sure you want to do this given most SEC schools and Clemson are in the heart of the Bible Belt?
