Not to be silly - but if they don’t pray for victory then what, specifically, are they praying for. (No team sports in my past.)

I’ve lived in Texas all my life, and been part of many, many team prayers.
You pray for the safety of the players and that the players may play to the best of there ability, things like that. NEVER for victory, at least I never heard it.
Ebert is an idiot, and either doesn’t know what he’s talking about, or more likely, is a typical lying liberal, bent on misrepresenting the “bitter clingers.”
You pray to be the best you can be. The best athlete, the best person... and that whatever the outcome you are giving it your all and not so much to win but to show Him what’s inside you.
Now of course, we all want to win, and I’m not saying otherwise. But what I AM saying is that the PURPOSE of the prayer itself is NOT to increase your odds of winning.
