The U.S. Military Academy is launching an inquiry into a prayer led by coaches following Army’s opening-day victory over Temple last week.
Video of the post-game invocation was pulled offline on Monday after West Point officials received a complaint from the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.
Mikey Weinstein, who heads the MRFF, said he received complaints from six members of the football team, two of whom he said identified as Christians, as well as dozens of Army graduates and staff who took exception to the religious expression.

The outrage over this is Incredible
I heard in another report that one of the players told his mother that he was "offended."
Yeah, better draw in the FBI and the Justice Dept needs to roll in the SWAT teams, can;t have this...... someone might be offended.
“I heard in another report that one of the players told his mother that he was “offended.””
The Pajama Boy perhaps? (Mommy! Mommy!...)
Bring in Donald Trump as the President and spokes person who sets the flavor for “offenses”.
Trump had better reverse this. If anyone needs Jesus on their side, its the Army Football team!
Why can’t they have a voluntary prayer? Make it known in advance and those that don’t want to
participate can head on to the showers.
“...can;t have this...... someone might be offended.”
Actually, I beg to differ.
Someone may be converted - THAT’S the real problem.
Idiots
O M G!!! Not that!
Quit wasting tax dollars on BS.
In fact if all genders can’t be on your pigskin team... ditch it and go rehearse some battle tactics instead!
It will take a lot of prayer to beat Navy. Go Navy!
Mikey Weinstein and this “offended player” need a face to face meeting with the King of Kings NOW!
Oh, how shocking!! Will those players ever be the same??
Mikey has been causing problems for years. Unfortunately, he is an embarrassment to my alma mater, the Air Force Academy. A real first class jerk.
Trump had better reverse this. If anyone needs Jesus on their side, its the Army Football team!
With Trump, it will SLOW down the destruction of our country, but I think we are cooked already. Trump will NOT be able to change much of our country with this type of situation. Everyday gets more discouraging. As soon as Trump would do something, the judges would be licking their lips ready to pounce.
These little brats are getting a free college education - paid for by us taxpayers.
Big deal that they’re football players. They’re whiney losers. If they were any good they would have been recruited by Alabama or Florida - or maybe Navy! ;-)
If the cadet was Jewish, it might be a legitimate offence. “Jesus” is the name that was used by the Crusaders who slaughtered Jews on their way to Jerusalem. It is the name used by a Christianity that has routinely killed and tortured, exiled and ostracized Jews for two thousand years. The Catholic Church used its “Jesus” to bring hell and damnation down upon the Jews, even portraying Jews sodomizing pigs in carvings on Cathedrals throughout Europe. So forcing (if only by consensus) someone to pray in that name would be unfair. Two things must be done: first, pray to the G-d of Abraham, less accurate and Jacob, or the L-rd G-d of Israel; as all Christians and Jews claim Him. The individual may ad his own nuanced words to himself, but this would allow for a critical unity among those who stand for Biblical truth. Second: the “Jesus” of Christianity must be be deconstructed and replaced by Yeshua, the Rabbi, Torah Sage and sacrificial leader of a sweeping Kiruv movement in ancient Israel. This will lead to a working relationship in which Jews and Gentiles can work together to save the Culture.
I wish ISIS would take care of Mikey Weinstein.
