They finally win a game and get busted for prayer.
Odungoville period!
Hey! We spotted you practicing religion!! We're here to stop that!
And the video should show the coach either saying "If you feel so inclined to join us in prayer, you are invited to do so" or "I order you to kneel and pray". If the coach said anything along the lines of the later, he is neither Christian, nor fit for command. However, if he said something along the lines of the former, he did nothing wrong; but to exercise his right to practice his religion.
If he had concluded his prayer in the name of "Allah, the meriful"; no one would have dared say a word; regardless of how he initialized the prayer.
In 2003, I went to a graduation where one student was going to West Point following high school. I was impressed that the ceremony included an official from WP who extolled the virtues of what it meant to be a West Point cadet, including the aspect of faith and country.
It looks like zero has totally destroyed anything good at West Point, they can no longer even acknowledge that our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles.
If no players are forced to join in prayer, there is no foul.

False religion imposed from the false leader above. Sue the evil bastard.
Would they have cared if it was a prayer to allah?
Uh, huh; thought not.
What did Trump call the generals? Rubble?
I seriously doubt they forced anyone who did not want to pray, to pray.
If true, it is later than I thought.
The Honor Codes at the service Academies are dead anyway. If hillary wins, close them all, as they won’t matter anymore.
Supposedly two of the complainants identified as Christians yet they had a problem with prayer ending “In the Name of Jesus”?! I don’t buy it!
THIS is what the Washington Times finds to be most Newsworthy?
How long ago did people quit paying for this fishwrap? They are obviously still in business/getting paid for something other than reporting News.
Shouldn't that be the Militaristic Atheistic Freedom FROM Religion Foundation?
This country is officially anti-Christ. It will not end well.
1965 High School Football. Our coach would be in a middle of a huddle with his whole team around him. He would lead us in a short prayer, I must admit it had victory for our side in the prayer, he would end it by words about playing hard and fair. We won three state championships in a row. I was on only one of them.
Coach Hillman was an extraordinary man. The team I played on produced two pharmacists, two doctors and a couple of PHDs and a few engineers. Our school was in a poor parish in South Louisiana and vastly underfunded. We students did not even realize that it was poor and underfunded.
Due to people like coach Hillman, coach Powell, coach Aribe and the talented staff a bunch of South Louisiana Swamp Rats won some football games but more important exceeded in life.
Our teachers were also great men and women. It was a small school and everyone knew everybody. I well remember when we I and a couple of other “cut school” to go to New Orleans. One of our teachers saw us in our car heading north. When we got home not only did our parents know, even worse coach Hillman knew. Wind sprints are very ugly, lesson learned the hard way.
It is odd but a very small poor community produced great people. I fear this is only rare today. In the past it was the normal.
Go Navy!
Because prayer is now a crime to be investigated.
Brutal leftist oppression is coming, and Republican leaders do nothing.
Benedict Arnold’s fort, right?
