I have a complaint that their 18 schools aren't doing a before-game prayer. Will my complaint be accommodated ???

Can we ban atheist prayer? Perhaps, anything they say, maybe their objections to Christian prayer? And why not?

I guess I’m just cynical but I believe these leftist administrators are just begging for these “complaints” so they can implement their desired action with sufficient political cover.

So now one can’t “take a knee”, unless it’s to support liberal causes.

A football game is, legally, a private event as they can also bar people -y’know - like Nazis - from attending.

The court has overstepped its bounds here or has to allow Nazis to appear and protest at the game.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Regarding Christian prayer before secular football games, schools do need be careful not to violate anybody’s 14th Amendment protections.
”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

On the other hand, regardless what the post-FDR era Supreme Court wants everybody to think about separation of church and state versus 10th Amendment protected states powers, if there are no bona-fide 14th Amendment issues against doing so, schools can still allow prayer before football games imo.

“US Schools BAN Christian Prayer Before Football Games Because of ‘Complaint’”

When I played football in High School before kickoff we would huddle and our coach would tell us to play hard and fair. A very brief prayer would follow. Our opponents on the other side of the field would do the same.

What the hell is the problem?
